Dear Teachers,

Happy March! Although this month named after the Roman god of war, Mars, I like to think of it as the beginning of Spring. A season of growth and development. March brings the vernal equinox, the Full Worm Moon, the return of Daylight Saving Time, and the count down to the end of this academic year. A Spring time poem for you:

Spring in the Classroom by Susannah Wood

Elbows on dry books, we dreamed
Past Miss Willow Bangs, and lessons, and windows,
To catch all day glimpses and guesses of the greening 
     woodlot,
Its secrets and increases,
Its hidden nests and kind.
And what warmed in us was no book-learning,
But the old mud blood murmuring,
Loosening like petals from bone sleep.
So spring surrounded the classroom, and we suffered to be
     kept indoors,
Droned through lessons, carved when we could with 
     jackknives
Our pulsing initials into the desks, and grew
Angry to be held so, without pity and beyond reason,
By Miss Willow Bangs, her eyes two stones behind glass,
Her legs thick, her heart
In love with pencils and arithmetic.

So it went — one gorgeous day lost after another
While we sat like captives and breathed the chalky air
And the leaves thickened and birds called
From the edge of the world — till it grew easy to hate,
To plot mutiny, even murder. Oh, we had her in chains,
We had her hanged and cold, in our longing to be gone!
And then one day, Miss Willow Bangs, we saw you
As we ran wild in our three o’clock escape
Past the abandoned swings; you were leaning
All furry and blooming against the old brick wall
In the Art Teacher’s arms.

How will you make the next 3 months count?

Please know that my emailbox is open if you have questions, thoughts or suggestions about our very special museum.

Warm Regards,

Feature Story: Women & the American Story (WAMS)

"Every classroom is different. Women & the American Story (WAMS) is designed with that in mind. The primary resources and secondary texts within this curriculum come with supporting materials that enable you to flexibly incorporate WAMS into your existing lessons and curriculum map. WAMS materials are written for middle- and high-school students. Many are adaptable for elementary school students. Instead of fully scripted lesson plans, this curriculum provides suggestions for how educators can use and combine WAMS materials to teach about a number of topics. You may wish to teach a lesson or unit about women’s experiences using only WAMS materials. Or you may wish to incorporate a WAMS resource into an existing lesson that lacks women’s perspectives. The curriculum is designed to support you in whatever approach is most conducive to your teaching."

Meet Olivia Brown, UWM ArtsECO Intern

Hi! My name is Olivia Brown and I am the current ArtsECO Intern here at the Haggerty Museum of Art! Here’s an image of me at the Narwhal exhibition at the Milwaukee Public Museum (narwhals have been my favorite animal since I was a kid :D). Most of my work at the Haggerty consists of working on curriculum, helping with events, giving tours to students, and creating exhibition materials such as our current family guide. I’m currently in my third year of university, majoring in Art Education and minoring in Counseling at UWM. My passion is teaching art to students in a classroom setting, and I hope to become an elementary school art teacher when I graduate. I love teaching students here in the Milwaukee area and eventually would love to move to coastal Oregon or Maine!

In addition to my work at the Haggerty, I’ve also been involved in other organizations around Milwaukee. I’ve taught Pre-College classes at UWM and taught art at COA over the summer. I have been very excited with my current project, planning and curating the My Milwaukee Show - a citywide K-12 exhibition for Milwaukee schools. In my personal practice as an artist I focus on photography work, and have recently been exploring the fibers medium. My hobbies include yoga, reading, crochet, and listening to music. I even made a playlist for the time I spend here at the Haggerty. Here’s a link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1RpC8FwhrQUsGEPpLHP63P?si=7f93c9c7fc3e44d8!

I would like to say thank you, personally to Christine Fleming and all Haggerty staff, for giving me the opportunity to work and interact with art in such a personal way through this internship!
