There will be an info session at Heron Hill Winery for discussion and input to gauge viability, interested, and participation. Sam Filler + NYW&GF of Cornell University are participating and we are working to schedule others with insight and information.
Lecture by Katherine Ott, Curator in the Division of Medicine and Science at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Since at least the mid-1800s, Americans have been obsessed with measuring, sorting and comparing people. The search for the composite college co-ed, the Fittest Family, and Norma and Normman were amusing parlor games but also became serious attempts to exclude people from civil rights, citizenship, and the human family. Grounded in objects and history, Poking at Normal: Museum and the History of Real People explores the material and visual culture of finding “normal” and what it means for museums today.

Explore your identity and think about the characteristics that makes you unique. Create your own textile flags inspired by The Rockwell’s Antigravity installation by artist Melissa Vandenberg located at the Museum entrance. Draw symbols that express your characteristics and incorporate them into a personal flag garland made of hand-dyed fabric.
Explore and deepen your connection to animals. We all relate to images we see. Why do some resonate and others not? Animal images are used in art to help people understand their personal identity. After being inspired by Abraham Anik Ruben’s sculptures of birds, animals and spirits, create your own sculpture out of beeswax or soapstone. Using hands and simple tools, scrape away material from small soapstone pieces to create a small sculpture that represents an animal or a blend of animal traits (feather, claw, etc.) that resonate with you. Smaller hands will have the option to work with warmed beeswax as a medium to create their sculpture.
What makes you shine? Create a portrait that represents you. Draw and design your profile using paper, glue, paint and mixed-media materials to express your identity. Add shapes, symbols and images that connect to your personality. Many contemporary artists in The Rockwell collection express themselves through their artwork by using a variety of materials. Artists often experiment with combining materials in new and distinct ways. Unleash your creativity and play with materials to see what can be discovered.
Who are you? What do you treasure? Make a leather pouch by sewing pieces of leather together and then embellish them with painted designs, beads, fringe, metal and feathers. Then, add a cord to wear your pouch in style!
