SUMMARY:F.A.M. Fun in the Galleries
DESCRIPTION:Drawing activities for the whole family inspired by the Ackland’s current exhibition Reform to Restoration.  \nNo ticket needed; drop in all afternoon! \nABOUT THE EXHIBITION \nReform to Restoration: French Drawings from Louis XVI to Louis XVIII (1770-1830) presents over eighty master drawings from The Horvitz Collection\, the preeminent private collection of French art in the United States\, and showcases some of the most well-known artists of the period\, including Jacques-Louis David\, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres\, and Pierre-Paul Prud’hon. Working in a time of tremendous political and social upheaval in France\, artists looked to the art\, architecture\, and literature of ancient Greece and Rome for inspiration and used stories from antique history and mythology as well as current events and contemporary theater to convey moral and civic values during a period of great uncertainty. Arranged in thematic groupings devoted to the concepts of patriotism\, love\, honor\, conflict\, and despair\, the works on display demonstrate the intellectual curiosity of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century French artists as well as the expressive versatility and powerful immediacy of drawings. \nImage credit: Jean-François-Pierre PEYRON (1744-1814)\, Standing Draped Man and Child\, ND\, Pen with black ink and brush with gray wash\, heightened with white gouache\, on blue wove paper\, 380 x 275 mm.

SUMMARY:Ackland F.A.M.: Dutch Drawingfest
DESCRIPTION:An all-ages celebration of drawing to mark the opening weekend of the Ackland’s newest exhibition\, Drawn to Life: Master Drawings from the Age of Rembrandt in the Peck Collection at the Ackland Art Museum. Events include: \nThe Living Line: watch as animator Stella Rosalie Rosen\, MFA ’22\, brings pieces from Drawn to Life into conversation with one another through frame-by-frame animation using graphite on paper. Viewers will see how the images are animated in real time under a camera\, as the camera’s visual feed is projected on the wall. The end result will be a short film incorporating imagery from the exhibition as it was originally perceived by the artists — moving through time and vibrating with life. \nSketching in the Galleries: all are invited to learn the fundamentals of classical drawing at drop-in drawing stations in the galleries with instructor Daniel Hammer\, artist and Ackland Drawing for Tweens teacher. \n\nF.A.M. Activity Kits: pick up an art kit with drawing supplies to use in the galleries or take home with you! Available beginning Sept 25 and while supplies last.\n\nThis program is supported by the Orange County Arts Commission and by the North Carolina Arts Council\, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

SUMMARY:Virtual Family & Friends Sunday: Pottery and Postcards
DESCRIPTION:Explore the Tar Heel State through pottery and postcards! Get a closer look at works from the Ackland and Wilson Library’s Special Collections. Both pottery and postcards can be functional\, aesthetically pleasing\, and fun to make! Each can also inform us about the past-  what North Carolina used to look like or how objects have changed over time. \nEach month\, the Ackland hosts a free D.I.Y program for families\, kids\, and the young at heart featuring hands-on art activities\, live performances\, tours\, and more. \nA mix of D.I.Y. and live interactive activities await you\, inspired by central North Carolina! \nNorth Carolina’s First Peoples and Pottery\nWe start off with North Carolina’s First Peoples\, many who were potters and makers. Explore this page for information about early pottery in our area\, and thank you to the Research Laboratories of Archaeology at UNC-Chapel Hill for this research! \nArt-Making Activity: Coil Pots\nWatch a quick YouTube video to learn how to make a Salt Dough Coil Pot! \nMake a Coil Pot with Salt Dough Clay PDF (Accessible) \n“The Woodland people at Doerschuk who made Badin ware used manufacturing techniques similar to those in neighboring regions. They strengthened vessels for firing by adding sand and sometimes pebbles to the wet clay. Also\, like people throughout the ancient Southeast\, they used the method called coiling to make their pots. \nBasically\, coiling involves making long ropes or “coils” of clay. Starting at the base\, potters build the vessel’s walls by placing coils on top of each other. They then blend the coils together and thin the walls by hitting the sides with a wooden paddle. After the walls are built and paddled\, the pot is then fired to harden the clay. \nOften people wrapped the paddle with string\, or covered it with fabric\, or carved it with a design. Every time the paddle hit the pot (while the clay was still wet\, of course)\, it left a reverse impression of the string or design on the pot’s surface. Archaeologists call this technique paddle stamping.” – Research Laboratories of Archaeology at UNC \nVirtual Mini Field Trip -Seagrove\, N.C.\nThe town of Seagrove is a destination for pottery enthusiasts and makers alike! It is home to the NC Pottery Center.  \nWatch these short clips to learn more. \nVideo #1 \nVideo #2 \nRead this article about Seagrove in Artsy. \nPostcard Exploration\nNorth Carolina Postcards is a project of the North Carolina Collection\, located in historic Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives holds more than 12\,000 North Carolina postcards contained primarily in two collections: the North Carolina Postcard Collection and the Durwood Barbour Collection of North Carolina Postcards. \nThis digital project contains a selection of materials from the North Carolina Collection’s postcard collections\, including at least one image for each of North Carolina’s one hundred counties. Several counties have a close tie to pottery historically or culturally\, which we have listed below (this list is by no means complete!) \nBadin\, North Carolina \nBuncombe County\, North Carolina \nHaywood County\, North Carolina \nMoore County\, North Carolina \nCollection Connection\nCurrently\, a variety of North Carolina ceramics is on view in Object Lessons through May 14\, 2021. Explore the full exhibition virtually on Kuula. This portion of Object Lessons was curated with Professor Patricia Sawin\, who is utilizing the Ackland’s collection in her “Introduction to Folklore” class. \nYou will see several examples from Jugtown Pottery\, which is located in Seagrove\, North Carolina. \nArtist Spotlight: Mark Hewitt\nLearn more about the local artist Mark Hewitt\, whose work is featured in Object Lessons! \nArtist Website \nWorks in the Ackland’s Collection \n\n

The striking coloring of ‘sang de bouef’ is achieved using copper oxide\, whose chemical composition allows for the pottery to mimic the depth of its namesake animal’s blood. \nThe Ackland holds both an original dish from an unidentified Chinese artist of the 15th century  and a mid-20th century vase from Canadian artist Thomas Bezanson in its collection\, both of which utilize the sang de bouef glaze. \nTo learn more about the history of ‘sang de bouef\,’ we encourage you to explore these resources: \n‘Sang de Bouef’ Vase\, The Cleveland Museum of Art \nVase\, called “The Flame”\, National Gallery of Art \nMetal Ox Origami Activity\nD.I.Y.
