NEW: Genetic Modification: Monsters in Society Fairy Tales, Monster and the Genetic Imagination (Fine Arts, Social Studies) What happens if humans begin to direct their own evolution? As the world of science becomes further fascinated by the unknown, genetic modification of plants, animals and humans is being tested.

NEW: Deconstructing the Fairy Tale: Reconstructing Your Own Tale Fairy Tales, Monsters and the Genetic Imagination (Language Arts, Social Studies) Throughout history fairy tales were designed to teach. The difference between good and bad, happy and sad, the ups and downs of life; these stories were constructed with a consequence in mind. In this program, students will work within the Fairy Tales, Monsters and the Genetic Imagination exhibit to discuss and deconstruct several pieces of art created using well known fairy tales as inspiration. With these works of art as reference, students will then use straightforward writing tools to aid in the creation of their own stories.

Learning To Draw (Fine Arts, Language Arts) Being an artist isn't only about creating paintings, drawings or sculptures. Sometimes being an artist is about how you look at the world around you. Slowing down to draw makes us look more deeply and critically.
