Summer Teacher Institute: Medium and Message, Exploring Multiple Perspectives in Art. Across all art forms, the medium amplifies the artists’ message. In the Summer Teacher Institute at the Barnes, students will compare the use of paint, ceramic, and film by artists of the 19th and 20th centuries in the Barnes permanent collection and in the special exhibition Renoir Father and Son: Painting and Cinema. The special exhibition explores the works of acclaimed director Jean Renoir and the influence of his father, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, on his art and life. Workshops include art-making, poetry writing, and film making lessons for use in the K-12 classroom. In anticipation of the Berthe Morisot: Woman Impressionist exhibition, students will leave with images and lesson plans that compare artists’ perspectives, and also to prepare students for visits with their own classes over the next academic year.
