William K. Martin
Where the Arts and STEM Collide: Many people believe that the arts and STEM are mutually exclusive, there’s either one or the other. Architecture is a medium that combines the two. Utilizing both design and engineering, architecture brings together visual elements with functionality. Willard K. Martin, the architect designer of the Schneider Museum of Art, was a shining example of what was possible when the arts and mathematics worked together. A prominent Portland architect, Martin also designed the Pioneer Courtyard Square in Portland, Oregon and Organ Grinder Pizza Restaurant.

Printer Origins: When we think of printers today, we think of paper jams, office work, and the occasional 3D design. Printing has advanced far since its start around 3500 B.C.E, lithography is a particular branch that has caught the interest of historians. With its origin being to help a German actor in the 18th century print his play without running him into debt, lithography started as a way to spread art.
Learn more about the history of lithography and see for yourself the imagery it can produce. In the Schneider Museum of Art’s permanent collection, there are images printed by William Hogarth using the method.

Pottery in Costa Rica: Chorotega pottery is a form of pottery traditional to Costa Rica. In a video done by World Travel Guide, they explore the cultural and familial history of Chorotega and give insight into the process. Pottery is a large reason as to why we know so much about ancient cultures. These pots and plates give insight into what life was like around the world at different times. The Schneider Museum of Art’s permanent collection hosts several Pre-Columbian ceramics from Costa Rica.

The Schneider Museum of Art is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples who lived here since time immemorial. These Tribes were displaced during rapid Euro-American colonization, the Gold Rush, and armed conflict between 1851 and 1856. In the 1850s, discovery of gold and settlement brought thousands of Euro-Americans to their lands, leading to warfare, epidemics, starvation, and villages being burned. In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together – who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (https://www.grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (http://www.ctsi.nsn.us/) are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area. We encourage you to learn about the land you reside on, and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people.
