Stories of the Land and its People 2018

Stories of the Land and Its People is a dynamic exhibition with art created by 4th and 7th grade students who used the art experience to study a variety of subjects including Maine studies, science, environment, poetry, geography, and more!  The exhibition includes interactive stations, digital work and touchable items created for visitors to enjoy.  The museum provides this arts in education program free of charge to Midcoast Maine schools.  It is led by Farnsworth museum educators in collaboration with teaching artists, classroom teachers and the students and is inspired by local fieldwork and the latest research from Harvard University’s Project Zero and Lincoln Center Education in New York.

This student exhibition is a small sample of artwork created by 162 elementary and middle school students who took part in the 2017-2018 Stories program.
