Abstract
Students can be inspired as they examine the art and life of Clyde Connell (1901–1998). Connell was a woman who lived almost her whole life within a 5O-mile radi us of Shreveport, Louisiana, but traveled to New York City regularly for years. Connell was nearly 60 years old before she focused full attention on making art, and her most creative years began at an age when many people slow down. In a time of great personal disappointment and hardship, this gentle Southern woman rose above her circumstances to create a new life as an artist, reinterpreting her story in works of many media.This Instructional Resources includes three themes that appear in Connell's collage and mixed-media sculptures, each theme reflecting an aspect of home. Strategies for looking and interpreting, and a project idea are provided for each theme. The unit concludes with assessment suggestions.
