misc_none 2:00 PM  -  3:00 PM Bullies, Scamps, and Whippersnappers: Childhood Mischief in American Art
    Contact: Birmingham Museum of Art Education Department    254-2571   education@artsbma.org
    Mark Twain's characters Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn epitomize the idea of childhood mischief. Images of mischievous children abound in nineteenth-century American visual culture, from the fine arts to the popular press. Dr. Graham C. Boettcher, Curator of American Art at the Birmingham Museum of Art, will explore the subject of the "bad child" in American art and examine how such images played a role in cultivating and promoting new attitudes in child rearing. After the lecture, join us for a reception honoring students who participated in the exhibition, The Big Read: Tom Sawyer Exhibition. [The Big Read: Alabama Reads]

    Contact: Sandi Lee   205-226-3742   slee@bham.lib.al.us
    Mark Twain's characters Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn epitomize the idea of childhood mischief, with their roguish antics and penchant for troublemaking. Images of naughty children abound in nineteenth-century American visual culture, from the fine arts to the popular press. Dr. Graham C. Boettcher, The William Cary Hulsey Curator of American Art at the Birmingham Museum of Art, will explore the subject of mischievous children in American art and examine how such images played a role in cultivating and promoting new attitudes in child rearing.
