SFCA Artists in the Schools Spotlight: 98 Kīhei Elementary students learn about Maui habitats and native animals through artist residency

Grade 5 student artwork

Waiheʻe Coastline field trip

Grade 5 student artwork
Ninety-eight Kīhei Charter School fourth and fifth graders had an Artists in the Schools residency with painter Maggie Sutrov earlier this year. During this residency, students practiced close observation and realistic depictions as both scientists and artists. Students also practiced giving and receiving feedback to better express the Maui habitats and native animals they were learning about.

Teaching artist Maggie Sutrov recounted “The [classroom] teachers greatly appreciated the visual arts instruction, since this school values creativity but doesn’t have a visual arts teacher. They appreciated and valued the connections to content they were studying in their classroom. The professional development allowed teachers to both experience and understand the processes used by the teaching artist. Experiencing the process themselves allows them valuable insight, and revisiting and understanding the process allows the teachers to see how they might incorporate it into their own projects.”

Student feedback included “After making this painting of my Hawaiian hawk, I want to study and draw Hawaiian hawks more.” “Before this project, I didn’t feel like I could draw well. Now I feel like I’m good at drawing!”

A classroom teacher reported “It’s hard to get my class’s energy focused as a whole, but they were into it. They didn’t want to stop. It also helped them to be more self directed.”

AITS arts residency grants provide engaging, creative, and fun learning experiences for State of Hawaiʻi Department of Education public and charter schools through residencies with qualified, trained teaching artists from the Artistic Teaching Partners (ATP) Roster. Many of these teaching artists integrate their art form with other core curriculum areas, such as language arts, math, social studies, and science, meeting both Fine Arts and other core standards. Learn more about the AITS program on the SFCA website: SFCA.hawaii.gov/aits.

Art in Public Places Collection artwork: “Testing the Water” by Margaret Barnaby

“Testing the Water” multiple plate woodblock print by Margaret Barnaby, 2021
For jewelry artist, painter, and printmaker Margaret Barnaby, the natural world surrounding her has always been a forceful inspiration. She uses bright colors and detailed patterns in her large intricate woodblock prints, drawing the viewer into her snapshot of her outdoor world. Testing the Water specifically references the artist’s interest and concern with reintroducing the ʻalalā, the endangered Hawaiian crow, back into the forest, along with using the bird as a metaphor for hope and change. She depicts the three ʻalalā, in an engaging moment, looking inquisitively at each other. One ʻalalā has a twig in its mouth, referencing the fact that these birds use such twigs as tools to forage for food. Barnaby’s artwork has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States and is a part of various corporate collections, including J. P. Morgan, United Parcel Service, and Texas Instruments. She earned a BFA in sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1970, and has received art commissions in Arizona and Pago Pago, American Samoa.

This print was purchased by the SFCA from the Wailoa Center, Hilo, "Hawaiʻi Nei 2021" exhibit for the SFCA Art in Public Places Collection. Currently on display in “Accession: recent additions to the Art in Public Places Collection” at the Hawaiʻi State Art Museum.

After the exhibit, this print will be eligible for placement in hundreds of state government sites across Hawaiʻi.

Visitor in the foreground is looking at “Eia nā Kini Akua (Ancestors with Us)” by Meleanna Aluli Meyer, purchased by the SFCA from the 2023 ʻIke Kanaka exhibition at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center for the SFCA Art in Public Places Collection. Right: “Eia nā Kini Akua (Ancestors with Us)” digital collage by Meleanna Meyer, 2023.

Born in Honolulu, 1956, artist, educator, writer, and filmmaker Meleanna Meyer received her BA from Stanford in 1978, and then spent a year studying design and photography in Florence, Italy. Her Hawaiian heritage challenges and inspires her to create and bring to the public a greater understanding and appreciation for her homeland. For this dark, haunting and personal work ‘Eia Nā Kini Akua (The Ancestors are With Us) she explains, “I am melding digital, photographic form, with my design background and Hawaiian culture to comment on significant points of my creative life—namely my practices as a Kanaka ‘Ōiwi, and honoring my beliefs of animate energy in all things in nature.”

After the exhibit, this print will be eligible for placement in hundreds of state government sites across Hawaiʻi.
