The Rockwell Museum presents Chromatic Connections, a student exhibition program in collaboration with the Corning-Painted Post High School art teachers; Wendy Brubaker, Maria Goldwyn and Birgitt Wolf Peterson. Students enrolled in elective arts courses created mixed-media pieces inspired by the artwork in The Rockwell’s collection.
Students visited The Rockwell in the fall, and were prompted to explore the galleries, look closely and examine the diverse works on view. They considered how art connects to history, culture and our shared human experiences. In their classrooms, students experimented with media, design, artistic processes and techniques for their individual creations, each with a unique element connected to art in the Museum’s collection and special exhibitions. This program encourages students to research artists and use their imagination to explore the many facets of how art can tell a story.
