Artists and Children in Myrtle Beach, SC, Work Hand in Hand
The Franklin G. Burroughs~Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum and The Sun News in Myrtle Beach, SC, have collaborated to bring students and artists together in an exhibit entitled Hand in Hand - Artists and Children Look to the Future, a powerful exhibition in celebration of the arts and the next millennium, on view through Jan. 27.
Artists-in-residence Carolynne Miller, Samantha McNesby, Michele Ellison, Tommy Davis, Robert Sadlemire, Eugene Ubanks and Jackie Stacharowski began working with the students in approximately 40 Lowcountry schools this past fall. Over the three-month period, the artists passed on the creative experience of one generation to another as we moved from one century to the next. The students studied the history of art and its evolution throughout the last century. Using the history of art and art movements, the artists have brought a high level of creative activity to area in-school art programs.
The artists worked with a group of children in each school to produce a work of art that expresses childrens views of art and culture out of the past and into the future. The students employed past artistic movements and studied a variety of media to produce works of art that present their ideas of the next millennium. In addition to the in-school collaborative works, each artist has produced a work of art for presentation that has been inspired by this project for the next millennium.
