  • The Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art 50th Anniversary NO. 81 *o FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ADVANCE FACT SHEET EXHIBITION: PRINTED ART:A VIEW OF TWO DECADES DATES: The Museum of Modern Art, New York February 14-April 1, 1980 DIRECTOR: Riva Castleman, Director of the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books, The Museum of Modern Art CONTENTS: The past two decades have been unprecedented in the production of fine prints and other printed matter by leading artists. The printed image is ubiquitous in contemporary art. The silkscreens of the Pop Artists; the lithographs of the major painters of the 1960's and 1970's; the ephemeral periodicals and booklets of the Conceptualists; the etchings and engravings of the Minimalists, with their precise lines and clear colors; the images of every­ day life seen in the work of the Photo-Realists--all are, in the words of Riva Castleman, "testimony that a great part of the creative activity of this era has been directed toward the widespread communication that prints make possible." This major international survey of work in the different print mediums, a 50th Anniversary year exhibition of The Museum of Modern Art, includes more than 175 contemporary artists from Eastern and Western Europe, North and South America, and Japan. Among the artists represented in the exhibition are Josef Albers, Art & Language, Jennifer Bartlett, Joseph Beuys, Mel Bochner, Daniel Buren, Christo, Chuck Close, Jim Dine, Marcel Duchamp, Helen Frankenthaler, Richard Hamilton, David Hockney, Bryan Hunt, Jasper Johns, Alex Katz, Ellsworth Kelly, Joseph Kosuth, Les Levine, Sol LeWitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Philip Pearl- stein, Martial Raysse, Robert Rauschenberg, Ad Reinhardt, Ed Ruscha, Robert Ryman, Michael Snow, Soto, Frank Stella, Victor Vasarely, and Andy Warhol.

  • EDUCATION GUIDE History and Improvisation: Making American Music “We Play the Same Songs but the Solos Are Different Every Night
    EDUCATION GUIDE History and Improvisation: Making American Music “We play the same songs but the solos are different every night. The form is the same, but the improvisations are what is really what makes that music what it is…Jazz is about being creative, all the time.” – Scotty Barnhart LESSON OVERVIEW In this lesson, students will view the MUSIC episode from the PBS series Craft in America. The episode features the skilled craftwork required to make ukuleles, trumpets, banjos, guitars, and timpani mallets. Students will hear musicians playing each of the instruments. Students will also hear the musicians talk about their personal connection to their instruments. Additionally, the program illustrates how a study of American music is a study of American history. After viewing the episode, students will investigate connections between musicians and their instruments and between American music and American history. The studio portion of the lesson is designed around the idea of creating a maker space in which students experiment with and invent prototype instruments. Instructions are also included for a basic banjo made from a sturdy cardboard box. Note: While this lesson can take place completely within the art department, it is an ideal opportunity to work with music teachers, history teachers, technical education teachers, and physics teachers (for a related study of acoustics.) Grade Level: 9-12 Estimated Time: Six to eight 45-minute class periods of discussion, research, design Craft In America Theme/Episode: MUSIC Background Information MUSIC focuses on finely crafted handmade instruments and the world-renowned artists who play them, demonstrating the perfect blend of form and function.

HISTORY & GEOGRAPHY > Hawaii, Japan ARTS > Music, musical instruments EXPANDING THE CONCEPT OF LITERACY What is a “text”? We invite you to consider the performances on McCallum’s Field Trip Series as non-print texts available for study and investigation by your students. Anyone who has shown a filmed version of a play in their classroom, used a website as companion to a textbook, or asked students to do online research already knows that “texts” don’t begin and end with textbooks, novels, and reading packets. They extend to videos, websites, games, plays, concerts, dances, radio programs, and a number of other non-print texts that students and teachers engage with on a regular basis. We know that when we expand our definition of texts to the variety of media that we use in our everyday lives, we broaden the materials and concepts we have at our disposal in the classroom, increase student engagement, and enrich learning experiences. Please consider how utilizing your McCallum performance as a text might align to standards established for reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language. How do we help students to use these texts as a way of shaping ideas and understanding the world? Please use this material to help you on this journey.
