Curriculum Activities Curriculum Activities This teacher’s curriculum guide includes lesson ideas to accompany the 15 works from The School District of Philadelphia Art Collection on view in the exhibition Decorated, Displayed, Discovered: Celebrating the Region’s School Art Collections. July 8, 2017—January 7, 2018 Fred Beans Gallery 138 South Pine Street Doylestown, PA 18901 215-340-9800 www.MichenerArtMuseum.org www.LearnMichener.org Copyright © James A. Michener Art Museum, 2017. Looking Questions: What do you see in this painting? Describe all the details you can find. Identify what you see in the fore- ground, middleground and back- ground. Where is the horizon line? Describe the brushstrokes in the painting. How would you describe the light in this painting? What time of day is it? Explain. What season is it? How do you know? How does this painting make you feel? Why? John Folinsbee (1892-1972), Canal Bridge, c. 1923, oil on canvas, The School District of Philadelphia About the Artwork: Walter Emerson Baum helped acquire this painting for the Woodrow Wilson Middle School in May 1946, as well as a work by Harry Leith-Ross, a good friend of Folinsbee’s who shared a studio with him during their time in Woodstock, NY. Baum frequently attended auctions and gallery exhibitions on behalf of Principal Dudley and received a commission. Keeping to his usual budget, Dudley paid $300 for each painting. Later, he commissioned framemaker and craftsman Frederick Harer to create the frames for each of the works. Canal Bridge was painted earlier in Folinsbee’s career, when he employed more impression- istic elements, including brighter colors, looser brushwork, and capturing the effects of light on the landscape. This Bucks County scene was a setting typical of the Pennsylvania Impres- sionist artists in the area with whom Folinsbee met and worked, including Edward Redfield, Daniel Garber, Robert Spencer, and William Lathrop. The viewer is drawn into this quiet au- tumn location by the curve of the tree-lined towpath. In the distance, one can see the bridge over the canal, and below, with their handler, a pair of mules pulling a barge that is most likely carrying anthracite coal. For more information on John Folinsbee, visit the Michener’s Bucks County Artists’ Database. Download a copy of this activity on Learn with the Michener: www.LearnMichener.org Pre-Visit Activities: Look at the work of John Folinsbee on the Bucks County Artists’ Database. Learn about his style and subject matter. Explore his stylistic changes that happened later in his life. Compare landscapes by different Pennsylvania Impressionist artists found in the exhibition including: John Folinsbee, Walter Baum, Walter Schofield, Theodore Dillaway, Antonio Martino, and Henry Snell. How are their approaches similar or different? Artists would often go out to paint en plein air, or “in the open air” to capture their environment. Often, these areas were very close to where they lived. Create some sketches of your neighbor- hood. What details can you include in your drawing? As a class, discuss your similarities and differences of what is in each of your neighborhoods. Discuss the elements of a landscape including: horizon line, foreground, middleground and back- ground. Explore how the location of the horizon line changes the perspective in the work. Gallery Activities: Weather Reporting Activity Sheet: Write a weather report in response to one of the works in the exhibition. What season is it? How do you know? What kinds of activities would you do during this time of year? Instagram Activity Sheet: Choose a work of art in the exhibit. Sketch the artwork on your activity sheet and write a creative caption along with relevant hashtags to explain your composition. Using Your Senses: If you could walk into one of the landscapes in the exhibition, which one would it be? What would you hear? See? Taste? Smell? Feel? Describe this experience in a short paragraph. Post-Visit Activities: Impressionistic Landscape: Create a painting in the impressionistic style using Canal Bridge as inspiration. Combine tempera paints with flour to create a thick impasto texture. Transportation Systems: Explore the importance of the canal at the turn of the 20th century and its relation to the transportation of coal in the region. How have transportation systems changed along with the use of our natural resources? Write an essay of your findings. Before and After: This painting was created in the 1920s. How would this landscape look today? Draw a version of this place and include the changes that may have happened over the years in your composition. How is it different or similar? Favorite places: Think of a favorite place—a vacation spot, your backyard, a sports field, or somewhere where you go to think. Create a drawing of this place. What details would you include? Or maybe this place is imaginary. What is it like? Write a short descrip- tion to accompany your work. Point of View: Change the position of where you are standing in this landscape. Recreate what you might see from this new perspective.

Looking Questions: What do you see in this painting? Describe all the details you can find. Identify what you see in the fore- ground, middleground and back- ground. Where is the horizon line? Describe the brushstrokes in the painting. How would you describe the light in this painting? What time of day is it? Explain. What season is it? How do you know? Where are we positioned in this painting? How does this painting make you feel? Why? Walter Baum (1884-1956), The Brook, (also known as The Brook, Winter), c. 1930, oil on canvas, The School District of Philadelphia. About the Artwork: This painting by Walter Baum was one of the first acquisitions of the Woodrow Wilson Middle School collection in Philadelphia. In the spring of 1931, the school had accumulated several hundred dollars. Principal Charles Dudley and his faculty decided that an appropriate way to spend this money was to purchase an oil painting, because they believed “it would last as long as the school itself” and would “always be not only an inspiration to the pupils who passed through our corridors daily, but also… an object of permanent beauty to enhance the cold and austere walls of our building.” The choice of this painting brought the artist and the staff “much commendation.” Walter Baum had a long standing friendship with Principal Charles Dudley and worked closely with him to obtain works for the school’s collection. Baum would advise Dudley on artists to reach out to and often visited galleries on behalf of Dudley to purchase works of art, often receiving a commis- sion himself. By 1941, the school had acquired 32 oil paintings and eight watercolors. By the end of Dudley’s retirement in 1950, the school had grown a collection of over 70 works. Download a copy of this activity on Learn with the Michener: www.LearnMichener.org Pre-Visit Activities: Write a letter to a friend describing this landscape to them. What details would you include? Look at the work of Walter Baum on the Michener’s Bucks County Artists’ Database. What kinds of facts can you find out about this artist? Explore atmospheric perspective in landscape paintings. What is this technique? How is Baum using it? What other techniques do artists use to create depth? Create a painting demonstrating this technique. Baum would paint the rural areas of Bucks, Montgomery, Lehigh and Berks Counties. He also traveled to the suburb of Manayunk, PA, later in his career. What are the characteristics of this suburb of Philadelphia? Compare this painting to a work of Manayunk found in the exhibit which is part of the collection of the Souderton Area School District. Find this example at: learnmich- ener.org. How are they similar? Different? Which landscape would you rather visit? Why? Gallery Activities: Weather Reporting Activity Sheet: Write a weather report in response to one of the works in the exhibition. What season is it? How do you know? What kinds of activities would you do during this time of year? Instagram Activity Sheet: Choose a work of art in the exhibit.

Using Your Senses: If you could walk into one of the landscapes in the exhibition, which one would it be? What would you hear? See? Taste? Smell? Feel? Describe this experience in a short paragraph. Post-Visit Activities: Point of View: Imagine you are in the middle of the stream or looking at this landscape from above –what would you see? How would the landscape be different? Draw or paint this scene using the medium of your choice. Principal Charles Dudley would often request frames to be made for the works in the collection at Woodrow Wilson Middle School, often commissioning craftsman Frederick Harer. If you were to create a frame for this painting, what would it look like? Draw this frame and its design. How large would the painting become if you were to add the dimensions of the frame to its overall size? Optional: create this frame in three dimensions using mixed media materials.

  • Henry Ossawa Tanner: Modern Spirit Exhibition, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia
    Review essay HenRy Ossawa TanneR: MOdeRn spiRiT exHibiTiOn, pennsylvania acadeMy Of fine aRTs, pHiladelpHia Alexia I. Hudson he Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA) is located in Philadelphia within walking distance of City Hall. Founded in T1805 by painter and scientist Charles Willson Peale, sculptor William Rush, and other artists and business leaders, PAFA holds the distinction of being the oldest art school and art museum in the United States. Its current “historic landmark” build- ing opened in 1876, three years before Henry Ossawa Tanner (1859–1937) enrolled as one of PAFA’s first African American students. Tanner would later become the first African American artist to achieve international acclaim for his work. Today, PAFA is comprised of two adjacent buildings—the “historic landmark” building at 118 North Broad Street and the Samuel M. V. Hamilton Building at 128 N. Broad Street. The oldest building was designed by architects Frank Furness and George W. Hewitt and has been designated a National Historic Landmark, hence its name. In 1976 PAFA underwent a delicately managed restoration process to ensure that the archi- tectural and historical integrity of the building was maintained. pennsylvania history: a journal of mid-atlantic studies, vol. 79, no. 2, 2012.

  • Center Bridge Burning
    Burning of Center Bridge, 1923 Edward W. Redfield (1869-1965 oil on canvas H. 50.25 x W 56.25 inches James A. Michener Art Museum, acquired with funds secured by State Senator Joe Conti, and gifts from Joseph and Anne Gardocki, and the Laurent Redfield Family Biography The Pennsylvania school born in the Academy at Philadelphia or in the person of Edward W. Redfield is a very concise expression of the simplicity of our language and of the prosaic nature of our sight. It is democratic painting—broad, without subtlety, vigorous in language if not absolutely in heart, blatantly obvious or honest in feeling. It is an unbiased, which means, inartistic, record of nature. —Guy Pene du Bois Among the New Hope impressionists, Edward Willis Redfield was the most decorated, winning more awards than any other American artist except John Singer Sargent. Primarily a landscape painter, Redfield was acclaimed as the most “American” artist of the New Hope school because of his vigor and individualism. Redfield favored the technique of painting en plein air, that is, outdoors amid nature. Tying his canvas to a tree, Redfield worked in even the most brutal weather. Painting rapidly, in thick, broad brushstrokes, and without attempting preliminary sketches, Redfield typically completed his paintings in one sitting. Although Redfield is best known for his snow scenes, he painted several spring and summer landscapes, often set in Maine, where he spent his summers. He also painted cityscapes, including, most notably, Between Daylight and Darkness (1909), an almost surreal, tonalist painting of the New York skyline in twilight.

Braddock In 1899, Henry Ossawa Tanner painted Nicodemus Visiting Jesus (fig. 1), based on a story from the Gospel of John in which Christ tells a Jewish Pharisee of miraculous visionary powers available to those who are born again. By signing the painting "H. O. Tanner, Jerusalem, 1899," the artist touted his firsthand knowledge of Palestine, where he spent eleven months on two separate trips between 1897 and 1899. The Nicodemus is one of several paintings with biblical subjects that Tanner produced around 1900 after expatriating himself from the United States. Frustrated by pervasive racial discrimination on account of his African ancestry, Tanner left Jim Crow America in 1894 to live in France for the rest of his life, except for occasional family visits to Philadelphia and artistic expeditions to Palestine and North Africa.[1] Fig.

We make judgments about its quality and relevance based on current sentiments and tastes. This is a natural inclination, but unless we take the time to consider where and when the artists were working and what the conditions were like at that time, we miss much of the story that lies behind every great work of art. If we fail to consider that Eastman Johnson’s The Vacant Chair (cat. 4) was painted in 1865, we might conclude that it is simply a nicely painted interior of an old kitchen. When we stop to remember that the Civil War had just ended when Johnson put brush to canvas and that the empty chair might symbolize a missing soldier who will never return home, the painting’s powerful statement is fully realized. When we look at the paintings of great women Impressionists, such as Jane Peterson (cat. 18), it deepens our appreciation of their work when we stop to think of their struggle to be taken seriously at a time when women were con- sidered to be, at best, hobbyists.
