Please enjoy your copy of “Scholastic Art”. (If you did not pick-up a copy during laptop checkout on March 19th, you can find a digital copy online. Please check your email for more information.) The magazine is for you to keep. You can also check out the “Scholastic Art” website. The site has other issues you can explore as well as many interactive features. Go to art.scholastic.com . You will need to log in (click on the icon on the top right of the screen). You will enter the site with a class password. The password is tentmap6 .
During the next week, you can work on the handouts (the photocopy worksheets) inside the magazine. I am looking forward to seeing how you respond to the sketchbook starters when we return to school. You will find some sketchbook paper in the magazine. (We will add these pages to your sketchbook when we have class again.) If you did not receive an art pack from the school, check your email. The photocopy worksheets are attached to the email. You can do the sketchbook starters on any kind of paper you have at home.

Samuel Bak Exhibit at UNO
On September 11th, HTRS High School students encountered Witness: The Art of Samuel Bak at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. This magnificent display features paintings that been shown in major galleries and museums around the world. The renowned artist Samuel Bak is a Holocaust survivor who symbolically narrates his experience of anti-Semitism, especially while living in a Jewish ghetto during WWII.
The field trip was organized by the art and English department. Ms. Williams will have a Holocaust lesson for freshmen during the second semester. Art students are exploring surrealism, a genre that is often used to describe Bak’s work. The surrealist style can be described as imaginary or dreamlike. (Side note: Bak considers his work to be symbolic since it describes real experiences.) Surrealism also exists in literature. The arts often correlate to core subject areas so collaboration between academic departments provides an enriching experience.
Students were led through the Weber Fine Arts Gallery by trained docents. Meaningful conversations were generated through the thoughtful questions posed by students and the highly qualified guides. The gallery even provided flip books with additional information for the students to examine during the tour.
Nebraska English Language Arts standards that apply to the Bak field trip:
•Evaluate the meaning, reliability, and validity of text considering author’s purpose, perspective, and contextual influences
•Summarize, analyze, and synthesize the themes and main ideas between a literary and informational work (print, digital, and/or other media)
•Cite specific textual evidence to analyze and evaluate the effects of historical, cultural, biographical, and political influences of literary and informational text written by culturally diverse authors, to develop a regional, national, and international multicultural perspective.
•Demonstrate an understanding of complex text by using textual evidence to support analysis, reflection, and research via multiple mediums (e.g., writing, artistic representation, video other media)
Nebraska Visual Arts standards:
•Students will use the critical process to develop and defend a logical argument supporting a contextual response to a work of art
•Students will synthesize understanding of contemporary, historical, and cultural context in art and life
Witness: The Art of Samuel Bak will be on display in the Weber Fine Arts Building on the UNO campus until Thursday, November 14. For more information, visit www.unomaha.edu.
