STORIES FROM COVID-19
Archival Exquisite Corpse:
Ventura College Photograph Archive Project
“Portrait of a Woman”, Tiffany McIntire
The Museum partnered with Ventura College photography professors Brian Paumier and Jessie Groves for a new take on the exquisite corpse concept. Students were asked to use the Museum’s online photograph archive to find inspiration for a final project.
Presented are the original photograph screenshots the students selected and the images they created based on those selections.
VIRTUAL LEARNING
DRAWING FOR FUN
The Museum of Ventura County and Agriculture Museum celebrate young artists and artwork! In this virtual learning module, you will find an activity where you can create shapes and animals for fun and a little drawing practice.
If you’re in need of inspiration, we encourage you to view the Third Annual Ventura Unified School District Art Show and Learning to See virtual exhibits that features local student artwork.
FILM DISCUSSION WITH IVOR DAVIS
“The choice of August 27th for this film is very fortuitous because on exactly on that date 55 years ago, I went with the Beatles to visit Elvis Presley–in a historic get together that didn’t quite go as everyone had hoped. One of the reasons was that Elvis was jealous that “A Hard Day’s Night” was a box office smash hit! And his films were not.”
“So, I think we’ll have some lively fun that night!”
Please note that the trailer and a clip from the film will be shown. The film in its entirety can be rented on Amazon Prime for $2.99 —$3.99.

MVC RECOMMENDS
Smithsonian Institution:
Remembering Congressman John R. Lewis
(left to right): Ralph Abernathy, James Forman, Martin Luther King Jr., Jesse L. Douglas, John Lewis
John Robert Lewis (February 21, 1940–July 17, 2020)
was a giant in the civil rights movement whose wisdom, courage, and moral clarity earned him the nickname “the conscience of the Congress” during his 17 terms as a representative of Georgia’s fifth congressional district. As we reflect on a life spent in service of the ideals of democracy, his actions and words continue to resonate and inspire the work to make America better—to make a more perfect union.
