Curriculum+Fair+2013

May 9, 2013 4:00pm - 7:00pm
 * Curriculum Fair 2013**

The museum’s schedule of workshops and seminars concludes this year with the Curriculum Fair on May 9, 2013. The large and informal event will provide educators with opportunities to gather and share lesson plans inspired by artworks in the museum, along with related classroom- and museum-based activities and student work samples. All those who have participated in Art Institute professional development programs or used resources from the Crown Family Educator Resource Center during the 2012–13 school year are eligible to submit a proposal to present a curricular project for the Fair.

The theme for this year's curriculum fair is “Everyday Wonderment." The everyday is filled with routine, consumption, and often boredom. But it is also a place for action and transformation. This year’s Curriculum Fair puts the everyday at the center of making, viewing, and learning about art. We are looking for submissions that address one or more of the following questions:


 * How have artists been inspired by everyday life, objects, and situations?
 * How does art impact the way we experience our everyday lives?
 * How can we use our own and our students’ everyday life to create visually and conceptually engaging art that opens up spaces for reflection and transformation?
 * How can the everyday inspire a sense of wonderment?
 * What happens to our perceptions of everyday life when art interventions occur outside of traditional art viewing contexts or traditions?
 * What happens when the viewer is called upon to complete an artwork through participatory contribution?

** The annual curriculum fair is organized and coordinated from a partnership with the Art Institute of Chicago Teacher Programs and the Teacher Advisory Panel. Below are concepts and materials that were reviewed by Teacher Programs and the Teacher Advisory Panel in preparation for this program. **

__Perspectives on the Theme of the Everyday: Historic to Contemporary__ Objects and situations from everyday life have inspired artists throughout the ages. This inspiration has manifested in a range of ways. Diego Rodriguez de Velasquez was inspired by interiors and still lives. Whereas the ubiquitous language of mass media and advertising of everyday of contemporary life has inspired artists like Barbara Kruger who draws on her training as a graphic designer. Many contemporary performance and sculpture artists investigate some of the essential questions asked by this year's CF theme by working through concepts of "public practice" or "social engagement." The lineage of these methodologies may be observed in Fluxus art and Situationist theory of the 1960s and 70s counter culture... they in turn were inspired by the Dadaist movement before them to. The 1990s connectivity explosion of the internet brought about a resurgence of these artistic investigations which are now broadly practiced in the contemporary art world.
