Teaching Artist > Student Work- K-12

Students in sixth grade visited the MCA to view Jenny Holzer's exhibition and discuss the use of text and place based conceptual art. For the final project, student's created a water color painting of their home or a building that was meaningful to them. Text was added by layering velum over the finished water color paintings and emphasis was placed on deciding how the text would look, its placement in relation to the drawing and how much of it could be read or understood depending on how the students wanted their work to be interpreted by the viewer.
