Two outdoor sculptures and 7 artworks in 3 galleries

Path Description

In Art and Artists of the 20th and 21st Centuries students will explore how an artist makes and exhibits artwork: from studio to exhibition in a museum. The discussions are intended to encourage students to find greater meaning in their own artistic practice and to grow in their art making.

This is a unique program to Glenstone because we work directly with living artists when it comes to our exhibits, site-specific installations, and outdoor sculpture.

This path option is appropriate for students who are familiar or have interest in art or art history and/or have created art in a class or studio setting.

Path Goals

On this path, students will:  

• be introduced to artists of the 20th and 21st centuries whose work has redefined the way we experience and understand art. 

• learn about interdisciplinary exhibiting practices in museums and the possibilities of collaborating with museums as artists. 

Maryland State Standards

This path was designed to meet Maryland State Fine Arts Anchor Standard 6: Convey meaning through the presentation of artistic work. The standards are used as a guide for our discussions and make stronger connections to the current state-wide curriculum. 

During the visit, students may experience the following artworks. Please note weather can limit time with outdoor sculpture.
