Purpose
Purpose
Exploration of Appalachian culture through mathematical patterns, symbolism, and diversity with art.
To share with our community students' art in an Appalachian museum exhibit with the Madison County Arts Council in collaboration with MCS Arts Program (April 2022). Then the show will go on when Mars Hill University asks our students what diverse voices could be added. A new Rural Heritage Museum exhibit will emerge based on students' revisions and new creations (Fall 2022).
A joint collaboration of MECHS students: Math 1--Ammons, American History--Arnold, ENG 4 (Long), ENG 2 (Jozefiak and Young), ACA/EC (Whitney)
Driving Questions
Driving Questions
How can we use geometry, history, and English to understand patterns and symbols in art and stories? How do math and history tell stories? How can hidden messages in patterns change the course of history? Why are quilts, barn quilts, and other art so integral in Appalachian culture? How can our students use art to convey their understanding of these concepts? How can we use challenge based learning to inform our community about local art, history, and authors? How can these projects help dispel myths and stereotypes about Appalachia?
