<p>How can art prompt us (and our students!) to write?</p> <p>Explore different styles of writing in response to artwork included in the new <em>American Voices, American Visions </em>installation and modern galleries.</p>

<p>These artworks are part of a project in Ms. Trenkle's Geography class. After you visit SAAM, choose one to write about.</p>

<p><em>A Bold and Beautiful Vision, </em>an exhibition at the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum, explores the rich history of African American artist-educators in Washington, D.C. across the 20th century. Rather than celebrating the singular genius of any one artist, the exhibition celebrates the collective genius of community: the teachers, mentors, and students who made the city into an unparalleled center for Black arts education that produced some of the country’s most gifted artists. This webinar took place during the 2024 National Education Summit, facilitated by a Smithsonian historian and an arts educator.</p>
