Intermountain Intertribal Indian School (Intermountain), in Brigham City, Utah, started in 1950 as a boarding school for students from the Navajo Nation located in the Four Corners region of the United States. In 1974, Intermountain opened to all Native American students, with up to 100 tribes represented. Intermountain closed in 1984.

The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, Utah State University, has restored the murals that once adorned the dormitory and public walls at Intermountain. These vibrant artworks were not the product of professional artists, but of the students themselves. Given paint and permission from their teachers, these young individuals created images that represented their concept of home.

The idea of home transcends cultures and speaks to the very heart of our shared humanity. Home is not just a physical place, but a space of belonging and love.

Dive into Utah history as we look at Intermountain’s murals, photography, and artwork. Make a unique artwork and think about your identity, home, and culture.

Using commercial techniques, diverse media, and featuring everyday subject matter, Pop artists sought to blur the distinction between “high” art and “low” art. These artists aimed for a more accessible artform. Counterpoint and its companion exhibition Off Kilter, On Point explore Pop art and some of the many other movements taking place during the 1960s to 1980s.

At this Evening for Educators you will learn about screen-printing, the commercial process that Andy Warhol and others adopted in their art, and engage with the process firsthand. Come see how this art form can be used in your own cross-curricular teaching!

Take the pressure off your artistic practice by focusing on creating and experimenting, rather than obsessing on the end result! Students (and everyone, really!) can get their artistic practices snagged by the ideas of good vs. bad and perfectionism. Art is an explorative process, and we’ll use special exhibitions Blue Grass, Green Skies: American Realism and Impressionism from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Photo-Secession: Painterly Masterworks of Turn-of-the-Century Photography to better understand our own. Join us as we practice artful moments and discover what happens when you seek non-perfection in the classroom.
