How do artists use everyday objects to explore the world around
them? Betye Saar and Edward Weston featured simple, everyday
objects in their work, infusing those items with meaning. After
studying these two artists in Voices and Images of California
Art, you will select an everyday item that interests you and
research how and why it is important to our culture. You will
present your findings in the format of a museum object label.
