Hands-on lesson plans in art can enrich the teaching of history, mathematics, or language arts. Teachers can create a design for a new coin, a portrait relief, or a figure in the round, and then teach their own students how art plays a part in portraying history, building national pride, and celebrating our heritage. Through firsthand artistic process, teachers and students form a personal connection to concepts, people, and events in history. The workshop will begin with a discussion and an introduction to the sculpture of Augustus Saint-Gaudens and the sculpture process, with an emphasis on the design of coinage. Participants will then proceed to the studio area to begin work. There will be approximately 2 ½ hours of studio time, with an optional viewing of the film, "The Medal Maker: Master Sculptor Laura Gardin Fraser." The film details the complete process of medallic art and can be used in the classroom as a pre- or post-lesson to a class visit to Saint-Gaudens. The workshop will include small group discussions focused on integration of the sculpture process into your current curriculum and the state standards addressed by including sculpture in your lesson plans.
