Stories of the Land and Its People is a collaborative initiative between the Farnsworth Art Museum and my 4th Grade students at South School. This yearlong project included fieldtrips to the Farnsworth Art Museum, the Maine State Museum, the Captain Lindsey House, the Rockland Historical Society, and Gamage Antiques. Students worked with museum educators, local teaching artists, historians, and community members to document Rockland Maine’s past and present. This project integrated photography, visual arts, history, research and writing into classroom learning. Rockland: Past and Present includes research and photography taken by students, along with a collection of archived photographs and research from the Rockland Historical Society.
