<p>This collection gathers resources to help language students understand how art reflects culture, increase their language proficiency, and develop global competence and 21st century skills.  This collection includes artwork relevant to exploring and learning about cultural topics, guiding questions to help with lesson planning, Project Zero Global Thinking Routines, and the Sustainable Development Goals. </p> <p>The second resource in this collection gives instructions for use and was specifically created to guide participants' collection development during the presentation <strong>P</strong><strong>eople, Place, and Time: How Art Reflects Culture - Smithsonian Collections</strong>.  A collection containing the full presentation slides is available<strong> <a href="http://learninglab.si.edu/q/ll-c/YkDj8CsKbAw08L4z">here</a>. </strong></p> <p>This presentation was given at the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) 2019 Annual Convention and World Languages Expo on November 23, 2019.

<p>In this collection, designed for a Spanish-speaking classroom, students will explore how art reflects culture when analyzing “Night of the Dead” by Alan Crane. The collection includes a <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MsgQWrXynFu5FIYvqfEvS2voLxbjLmJuTFk5RraGOEo/edit">teacher's guide in English</a> and suggested authentic resources both in Spanish and English to be adapted by teachers of multiple disciplines. </p> <p>Students will investigate how the Day of the Dead is celebrated by Latin Americans and compare it to their own celebrations. Next, students  will create an interactive presentation using Flipgrid and write a monologue to reflect their learning from the point of view of one of the persons in the artwork. </p> <p>This collection is one of three that explore “People, Place, and Time: How Art Reflects Culture.” Products, practices and perspectives displayed in Latinx art, show how our place and history (past) influence who we are (present) and who we want to be (future) in geographical, social, economic, and/or historical contexts. In the three collections, Latin American works of art illustrate how culture shapes the way we see the world, others, and ourselves, and they also raise awareness about Latinx diversity.</p> <p>The three collections were created by Marcela Velikovsky (Bullis School) and Vicky Masson (Christ Episcopal School) as part of the  <strong>2018 Smithsonian Virtual Teacher Curricula Creation Opportunity</strong> with the Smithsonian Center for Learning and Digital Access (SCLDA), and thanks to the Smithsonian Latino Center's Latino Initiative Pool funds. The three collections highlight Latino history, art, and culture, and use Harvard Project Zero Thinking Routines and Global Thinking Routines strategies. </p> <p>The Smithsonian Learning Lab collections provide an opportunity to invigorate the World Language (Foreign Language) curriculum as it allows to effectively integrate online museum resources (authentic resources) towards a 21st century curriculum. They facilitate student-centered activities within a variety of themes such as, family and communities, personal and public identities, social values and customs, holidays and celebrations, immigration, ethnic groups, Hispanic Heritage,  image and stereotypes, inequality and discrimination, global issues, religious practices, etc. They also provide the opportunity to analyze art, read portraiture, and investigate art media.</p> <p>These collections also consider ACTFL standards (Communication, Connections, Comparisons, Communities and Culture), Asia Society Global Competence skills, the Sustainable Development Goals (Global Goals), Teaching Tolerance Social Justice standards, the Framework for Developing Global and Cultural Competencies to Advance Equity, Excellence and Economic competitiveness, and Participate Global Competencies.</p> <p>#National Portrait Gallery #Spanish #Global awareness #Empathy #Global connections #Global-mindedness #Curiosity #Cross-cultural skills #Day of the Dead #Worldview #LatinoHAC</p> <p><br /></p>

<p>In this collection, designed for a Spanish-speaking classroom, students will explore how art reflects culture when analyzing “<em>Caja De Memoria Viva II: Constancia Colón de Clemente</em>” by Adrian “Viajero” Román. In this three-dimensional multimedia<em> installation, the artist</em> portrays a black Puerto Rican woman who migrated to the United States in the 1940s. This portrait allows the artist (in his own words) “ to embark on a quest to visually represent how precious our memories are and capture the dignity in the people’s struggle and validate their existence.” The collection includes a <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YLlgqQEvOWuRBsXVCI3ev04vbq4y4xHciKTM0rpA_Z0/edit">teacher's guide in English</a> and suggested authentic resources both in Spanish and English to be adapted by teachers of multiple disciplines. <br /></p> <p> Students will observe and analyze this three dimensional work of art and they will describe both its exterior and interior. Students will create their own box to reflect their heritage and personal story or that of a Hispanic figure.<br /></p> <p>This collection is one of three that explore<strong> “People, Place, and Time: How Art Reflects Culture.” </strong>Products, practices and perspectives displayed in Latinx art, show how our place and history (past) influence who we are (present) and who we want to be (future) in geographical, social, economic, and/or historical contexts.

<p>In this collection, designed for a Spanish-speaking classroom, students will explore how art reflects culture while studying <em>Méndez v. Westminster 1947, </em>a groundbreaking WWII-era legal case in which a group of Hispanic parents in California successfully sued to end segregation in their schools. The collection includes a <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FoQfO4NvwzdG-rdfGV0_cBtGuFuRlSSrjPv1C0REa8o/edit">teacher's guide in English</a> and suggested authentic resources both in Spanish and English to be adapted by teachers of multiple disciplines. </p> <p>Students will investigate how the <em>Méndez v. Westminster </em>1947 case helped pave the way to desegregation in schools in the United States. Among other activities, students will follow the script for the re-enactment of this case. Students will take action and contribute in their inner circle, their community/country, and/or the world by designing a stamp on a past or present global issue (social, environmental, or cultural), from Latin America or Spain, that matters to them.<br /></p> <p>This collection is one of three that explore “People, Place, and Time: How Art Reflects Culture.” Products, practices and perspectives displayed in Latinx art, show how our place and history (past) influence who we are (present) and who we want to be (future) in geographical, social, economic, and/or historical contexts.
