The Summer 2022 edition of InsideART focuses on the USFCAM exhibition The Lyrical Moment: Modern and Contemporary Abstraction by Helen Frankenthaler and Heather Gwen Martin. The exhibition features elegant, hand-processed paintings and prints by pioneering artist Helen Frankenthaler and digitally-informed, pop-inflected canvases and works on paper by contemporary Los Angeles painter Heather Gwen Martin. Through a collection of teaching resources, learning activities, and biographical information about the artists, teachers and students are invited to examine how art can explore culture, history, and critical social issues.
Lessons are aligned with curricular and instructional standards of state and national learned bodies in social studies and art education. InsideART lessons are written by USF College of Education faculty Dr. Bárbara C. Cruz, Professor of Social Science Education and Dr. Cheryl Ellerbrock, Associate Professor of Middle Grades and General Secondary Education; Ashlee Highfill, M.Ed.; and Shannon Peck-Bartle, M.A.. The program is co-directed by Dr. Cruz and Leslie Elsasser, Curator of Education, USFCAM, with support from Amy Allison, USFCAM.
