You cannot fully understand your own life with-

out knowing and thinking beyond your life, your

own neighborhood, and even your own nation.

Johnnetta B. Cole, Director

National Museum of African Art

The arts are a universal language. At the National Museum of African art, oureducators create opportunities for students to engage with and learn throughart and the world of ideas, experiences, and emotions it represents. We echothe President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities in advocating for thearts to “be part of the education of every child in America. The power of thearts and humanities to foster creativity in developing minds, to engage andmotivate students in school, and to prepare all children for productive futuresis essential for the future of the nation’s cultural and economic life.”

Research has shown that children whose imaginations are stirred by thearts are more fully engaged in school. The arts energize students to improvethose problem-solving and critical-thinking skills that reinforce their develop-ing proficiency in reading, writing, science, history, social studies, and math.Our programs offer them exciting opportunities to encounter the arts throughdiscovery, creation, and experimentation.

Inspiring stories await you at the National Museum of African Art. Discoverearly cultural expressions rooted in our collection that spans six centuriesfrom ancient Mali and Nigeria to present-day Africa. Interact with modernartists who chronicle the contemporary world and our place in it. We not onlyoffer hands-on and interactive activities in our programs, but we are also hereto help teachers meet national education standards of learning and fosterthemes of diversity and commonality across cultures and continents.

Each year thousands of students participate in exciting educational pro-grams in our museum, on our website, and in their classrooms. Our SchoolPrograms 2012–13 is a summary of museum resources, activities, and newmedia opportunities that provide useful information and ideas for engagingstudents. Introduce your students to the richness and diversity of works of artin selected exhibitions and collections at the National Museum of African Art.Choose from an array of activities to make meaning and memories together!

Connect the arts with science!African Cosmos: Stellar Arts

Through December 9, 2012

Explore the intersection of tradi-tional and contemporary Africanarts through African Cosmos: Stel-lar Arts. Learn about Africa's contri-butions to astronomy, and discoverAfrica in a whole new light!

Like musical instruments, stars,through their natural oscillations(vibrations), can be transformedinto audible sound waves. As-

tronomers detect them through thescience of asteroseismology. Theyartificially boost the sounds tobring them into human hearingrange, where they sound likeghostly whistling, drumming, hum-ming, or bells ringing, dependingon the speed of their vibration.

The educational programmingassociated with the exhibitionAfrican Cosmos: Stellar Arts is inpartnership with seven Smithsonianmuseums. A galaxy of pan-institu-tional activities is available online at http://africa.si.edu/exhibits/cosmos/education.html.

a very big thank you for giving

us the idea and the tools to

Learning to LookTeachersStudies have determined that visitors spend an average of 30seconds viewing a work of art in a museum.

Instruct your students, either individually or in a group, to viewthis work of art for 30 seconds, and then put it aside. Ask themto think about the following questions. How would you describe the object? What is it? Consider the shape,

material, size, abstract designs and/or human features.

When do you think it was made? Why?

How do you think it was used? Why?

After a quick view and discussion, show your students the poster again. Discuss what they may have missed by guiding them through a longer, more focused examination.

Show your students the photograph of Bedu masqueraders in Côted’Ivoire. Compare how we view this mask at the National Museum ofAfrican Art to how it would be seen in performance in Côte d’Ivoire. Discuss how music, song, costume, choreography, and the audience playa part in any live theater performance.

Bedu masks photographed in the Kulango communities of Kanguele, Debango, and Bozangui Côte d’Ivoire.Photographs by Rene A. Bravmann, 1967

ne unique regional creation is the use of large,flat plank masks throughout the regional border villagesof Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana in West Africa. Early maskswere destroyed after colonial governments banned their

appearance in the 19th century. By the 1930s, however, new masks,called bedu, began publicly appearing in performance every night atthe closing of the harvest season (November and December). Bedumay also be called upon to perform when an important elder of thecommunity has passed or when blessings to the sick are needed. In its many local forms, bedu reflects the ethnic and linguistic diversity of the region.

The lower triangular form of the bedu mask on this poster has a smallface with openings for the eyes and mouth cut through to allow themasked dancer to see and breathe. Bold geometric areas painted black,red, green, white, and yellow decorate the mask. Two bent posts con-nect the top superstructure that consists of a large disc with a hole inthe center and four curvilinear pierced areas. These recurring designrepresent feminine traits.
