1 E d u c a t i o n school group self-guide art of the Americas Use this guide to prepare for your self-guided visit to the Metropolitan Museum with your students. The Metropolitan Museum of Art
2 This guide will help you prepare for your self-guided visit to the Metropolitan Museum with your students. Use the links to the Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History on the Museum s website to access descriptions of works of art and other relevant content. Introduction Civilization began in the Americas about 5,000 years ago in Mesoamerica (modern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras) and in the Andean region of South America (Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Colombia). In Mesoamerica, the Olmecs first began building centers around 1500 B.C. along the Gulf Coast of Mexico. They also carved large-scale stone sculptures and altars, a tradition that continued with the Maya and all later Mesoamerican societies. They had political systems controlled by ruler-priests whose power was often symbolized by the jaguar. These societies held similar beliefs in a rain and a maize deity, and they played a ritual ball game. In the Andean region, by the third millennium B.C., ancient Peruvians were creating ceremonial centers and temple complexes in regional chiefdoms and kingdoms. It was only with the rise of the Inca in the fifteenth century that this region united to form a single, vast empire stretching for 3,000 miles. Precolumbian art was created mainly for ceremonial and ritual purposes. The powers of rulers and spiritual leaders to interact with the forces of nature and spirits of the ancestors are expressed in art by the use of certain animals as symbols, combinations of human and animal forms, and spectacular regalia, such as elaborate textiles, featherworks, and gold and jade ornaments. Many of the smaller objects in the Museum s collection come from tombs, which suggest beliefs in an afterlife. The larger sculpture comes from temples and shrines. Art of the Americas 2
3 The Galleries The Museum s holdings of Precolumbian art represent a large area of the two American continents that reaches from Mexico south through Peru. The collections cover a 3,500-year period that begins at about 2000 B.C. and ends with the arrival of the Spanish in the late fifteenth century A.D. The galleries are located on the first floor in the south part of the Museum in the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas in The Michael C. Rockefeller Wing. In the first of two large Precolumbian galleries are the Mesoamerican collections of stone sculpture, one rare wood sculpture, ceramics, and jades. There are also a few fine examples of ancient Taino art from the Caribbean Islands (present-day Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic). The arts of Central America (primarily Costa Rica and Panama) and the Andean region are presented in the second gallery. Surrounding an extraordinary collection of Precolumbian metalwork in gold and silver are ceramic figurines, stone sculpture, textiles, and featherwork. Art of the Americas 3
4 Planning a Tour When visiting the Metropolitan Museum with your students, prepare your tour with the following in mind: Less is more. Select five or six works of art to discuss over the course of an hour in the galleries. Choose works that are located away from doorways and areas that are heavily traversed by visitors. Include works that are visible to all students in your group for purposes of discussion and viewing. Make sure that there are enough chaperones in your group to divide the students into smaller groups for gallery discussions. While touring the galleries, please give priority to lecturers wearing Museum IDs who are guiding groups. If they are discussing a work that you would like your students to see, please select another work to view and discuss in the interim. Please Note: Although most of the suggested works in this guide will be on view when you visit the Museum, some gallery installations may be subject to change. We recommend that you use Search the Collections online or come to the Museum to verify that the objects you want to discuss are on display prior to bringing your group. The Metropolitan Museum of Art s school tour program is made possible by the generosity of Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman. Art of the Americas 4
