Overview: Each student creates a visual representation in response to the question: "In what ways are ordinary objects imbued with a sense of preciousness through personal experience, cultural significance, and emotional attachment?"
Student Reflection:
In response to her piece above, the student artist wrote: "The smell of lemons via lemonade and lemon meringue pies always reminded me of the hot summer when I turned 7, the first summer I experienced in America. I wanted to capture the nostalgia of struggling to make new American friends, and the "American Childhood" that I experienced in a way, but never fully lived (hence a better sweet sepia hue)." Activity: Explore the diversity of family structures by looking at works of art from a photography exhibit at the MFA called “(un)expected families.” Next, pick someone from your own life who makes you feel a sense of family to honor. Turn a photo of this person or people in a type of print called a collagraph.
