The Morris Graves Museum’s last afterschool class of the year was today! Students had a chance to learn to use easels, build up their observational drawings skills, and take in the gallery’s. Their drawing turned out great. These photos are from their last 30 min session. #humboldtartscouncil #humboldtarts #arts #drawing #youtharts #observation #sketches (fb)

At the Morris Graves Museum of Art: 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝! Don’t miss this engaging and powerful show… The Willam James Prison Arts Project presents 𝐑𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐎𝐌: 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐬 embracing identity, overcoming colonialism, fighting for our future. “One of the best reasons for including access to the arts in prison is that art helps people strengthen their self-knowledge, identity, and connection to their communities and culture. All of those are fundamental to personal growth, and to being able to develop awareness of both the consequences and underlying causes of one’s behavior. Since Native Americans are incarcerated in California at twice their proportion in the state population, this potential for healing and growth is vital.” Anderson Gallery, May 24 through July 6th 1. ‘The Gathering’ by Henry Frank 2. ‘Oaxaca Memories’ by Efrain Rodriguez 3. ‘A.I.S.G. S.Q.’ by Anonymous 4. ‘Village View’ by “David” #humboldtartscouncil #morrisgravesmuseumofart #indigenousart #californianativeamericans #prisonarts #incarceratedartists (fb)
