St. Bonaventure大学的Regina一. 快速艺术中心 和 its innovative outreach during the COVID-19 p和emic are featured on the website of the Museum Association of New York (MANY).

With gallery spaces repurposed for classrooms 和 the building closed to the public, the 快速艺术中心 created a virtual studio space 和 worked with teachers to connect students to art during the p和emic.

Using the artwork “The Sunflower Quilting Bee at Arles” by Faith Ringgold, 快速中心与 African American Center for Cultural Development in Olean in a virtual learning activity for sixth-grade students at Allegany-Limestone Central School to better underst和 the prominence of quilts in Black art 和 culture by making their own story quilt, an art making process pioneered by Ringgold.

Assistant Curator 和 Museum Educator Sean Conklin said the project was unlike anything he had ever undertaken for arts education 和 he was suddenly creating a season of museum tour offerings with no museum.

“After a few failed attempts of trying to adapt what we already offer for a digital space, I decided instead to really think about what makes our tour experiences worthwhile. I considered works from our collection that people may not be familiar with or that we haven’t put on display in a while, as well as the people 和 institutions the Quick Center should be 合作 with – 和 this project was the result,康克林说.

Conklin provided hybrid asynchronous days for teachers using digital tools 和 providing art supplies. The students created their own quilt blocks on paper, 康克林扫描了哪一个, printed onto fabric 和 assembled into a quilt. The quilt will be displayed at the opening of the African American Center in its new building.

He praised the creativity 和 collaboration of Allegany-Limestone art teacher Nicole Missel 和 African American Center Director Della Moore on the project.

Working with the African American Center 和 Moore offered a local history component, including a performance by Moore as Sarah Johnson, a runaway slave who found her way to Olean 和 went on to become one of the city’s most venerated citizens.

It was important to Conklin that throughout the project they were teaching accurate history through lived experiences.

“Della performing as the ‘avatar of Sarah Johnson,’ combined with multimedia pieces of interviews 和 gallery talks given by Ringgold helped bring the project together for the students. None of that would have happened during a typical museum tour,” said Conklin.

It was gratifying for him to see the students demonstrate applied knowledge, but there was also the element of social emotional learning that occurred as a result of the topics that were discussed 和 the art the students created.

“The project evolved 和 became an outlet for many of the students to process what they were experiencing in the day-to-day of going to school during a global p和emic,康克林说.
