In the fall of 2011, the M.A.T. Art Education students at Coastal Carolina University were each assigned to interview a local artist and then base a lesson plan around their artwork. This simple assignment grew into something quite larger. It has since become an extensive research project that highlights several South Carolina artists living and working in the lowcountry.
We sat down with five artists to talk about their artwork, their art background and how they balance both professional and personal lives that revolve around art. We are presenting this project at the National Art Education Association conference in New York City on Friday, March 2.
Our artists include two painters, two sculptors, and one photographer. We feel that this is an interesting way to make students aware of the fact that art is going on all around them.
