Item Description

How it works: A Valise Project is an interactive 2-hour presentation and project focused on the valise lead by a Lux Art Institute Instructor. Prior to the presentation the classroom teacher will be given access to a teaching guide that suggests ideas for incorporating The Valise Project into appropriate grade-level curriculum.  Check our website and photos to choose a specific valise that might fit best with the class, based on age groups / or what the students are currently learning about in school.

The Valise Project involves an exploration of museum quality art work packed into a valise (suitcase) created by a professional artist that was commissioned by Lux Art Institute.  The second half of the Valise Project involves a hands on art lesson that could include painting on canvases or log slices, or doing printmaking to name a few.

This Valise Project up for auction is for one Valise Project in one classroom.

Item Special Note

Inspired by Marcel Duchamp, who carried miniatures of his work inside a suitcase, Lux commissions portable works of art that double as powerful interdisciplinary teaching tools. The valises travel to hundreds of classrooms around San Diego County each year, giving students a rare up-close and hands-on experience with museum-quality art.
