Artist Faith Ringgold Dies at 93 - Her art, her biography, and her impact

World renowned artist, Faith Ringgold, has passed, leaving behind a powerful legacy of art.  She was New York's own, and so many of the article below will come from New York Museums, and how her art had an impact.  I have included the lessons from the various art institutions with an emphasis on The New York Times Learning Network, which has both a local and national perspective on Ringgold's considerable body of work. 

The New York Times Learning Network has origins to MoMA's original Visual Thinking Curriculum (VTC) which has undergone a number of incarnations.  I had the privilege of helping to launch the initial VTC so the questioning techniques and strategies are those I always enjoyed.

Want to make a game using LOC resources?

If you'd be interested in making a game with images and other resources from LOC, we have two options (both free because the platform is in beta and we want feedback). We can easily do games in two languages, but you'd need to provide the translation if the second language isn't Spanish

1. Our low code platform where you make the game yourself. It takes about 1/3 the time of making an educational game normally, can be done by a very junior developer (say, teacher or even a student with a year of programming experience) and runs on anything with a web browser. HOWEVER, it's not for a person who has zero knowledge of CSS, HTML or Javascript. If interested sign up for a demo here - https://www.7generationgames.com/how-7-gen-blocks-is-changing-educational-games/
2. We have interns who are doing demo games using the platform. If you'd like to be paired up with one, you can sign up at the same link and just let me know that's what you want. We can discuss your game and what the interns can do (coding) and what you would need to provide (script and resources to include). Of course, they can only use resources that are not copyrighted.  Social Studies/History    Bilingual Education/ESL    Technology
