Students will work with archives of protest art from the actual Black Panther Party and other social justice groups. By learning from attempts to wield art as a weapon in the fight for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness over the past hundred years, and at the same time we can learn about the conservation skills needed to preserve records of the past to transform the future. British Comic Art: Exploring Storytelling | Yale Center for British Art Explore the unique visual medium of comics throughout history! Focusing on autobiographical comics and zine-making, students will draw self-portraits, create small handmade books, and publish a final two-page comic story. This is not a superhero or manga comic workshop. We will learn how the comic format can help us tell our own meaningful stories. Close-Looking with Museum Objects | Yale University Art Gallery Join us at the Yale University Art Gallery this summer for this workshop which begins by “close looking” at a selection of rare museum objects from around the world and across time. Then, channel your own creativity through various mediums, materials, cultures, and perspectives. The practice of looking at, discussing, and making art will engage both students who are artists and art lovers. Designing the Everyday | Yale School of Art Every day we encounter people and objects that inspire us, which we can recall and reconstruct in our art. Through creative sketching, poetic writing, and zine design, students will tell everyday stories through graphic design. Students are encouraged to express their own unique interests and everyday stories through guided instruction and peer collaboration. No prior knowledge of drawing, creative writing, or printing is required. Hold Still! - Storytelling with Digital Photography | Yale School of Art Come compose, capture, and compile photographs into a cohesive digital project! Students will learn professional photographic techniques and develop a new way of seeing and describing the world around them. By conceptualizing a photo project with text, students will also sharpen their writing skills. Additional activities will include trips to local museums and photography collections. No experience with photography required. Introduction to Ancient Languages| Classics and History If ancient languages are “dead,” why do we see traces of them in words we use every day? In this workshop, students will trace the connections between ancient and modern languages, using Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Greek, and Latin as examples. Students will learn to read excerpts from original texts and try their hands at creating their own written artifacts using ancient technology! Race & Citizenship in Jim Crow US and Nazi Germany | The Fortunoff Archive This workshop focuses on examining how oral histories are collected and what they can and cannot tell us about the past. How can we use oral histories and personal testimonies to study two different historical racial regimes? What can we learn from comparing them? Through oral histories, students will explore how ideas about race in the Jim Crow United States and Nazi Germany in the 1930s were used to limit and deny the citizenship rights of Black Americans and German Jews. The key materials for this workshop come from Yale’s Fortunoff Archive of Holocaust Testimonies. The Arts of Asia (1500-1700 CE) | Art History Celebrating the diversity of artistic expression in early modern Asia, this workshop explores objects ranging from paintings and folded screens to architecture and performing arts. Students will become familiar with the diversity of artistic expression in each region that makes up Asia and the connected histories and cultures that shape them. More workshops to come! Yale
