A rainy Los Angeles day did not stop teachers from creating sun prints and taking pictures with pinhole cameras outside. Our November Art & Language Arts workshop focused on ways to connect our vast and diverse photography collection to the elementary classroom. Teachers were particularly moved by powerful works of art by Carrie Mae Weems in the Narrative Interventions in Photography exhibition.
