Connections: Activity Guide

This activity guide provides a review and comparison of each of the seven artist's installation selected for this years festival as they relate to the festival theme: Connections. The theme celebrates, contemplates, or questions our interactions with each other, nature, or the world. The purpose of this guide is to give students opportunity to reflect on how the artists explore the theme from different perspectives. The activity develops critical thinking around the artist's process, medium and technique. Having students do this activity before the festival will greatly enhance their festival experience.
