IN PERSON: Recent studies show that the average visitor to a museum looks at an art piece for 17 seconds. In this course, we will sit comfortably in the Nasher Museum of Art galleries (on chairs with backs!) spending time with one or two pairs of artworks each session. This will allow time for contemplation, exploration and deeper collaborative discussion of each work of art. We will discuss formal elements, the artist's background and other issues that might be relevant to the work: its artistic, political, historical, religious context as well as its provenance. We will compare the two works of art and consider how the works impact and respond to one another. We will see how new meaning is created through visual dialogue. | Facilitated discussion.
Max enrollment: 15.
Location: Nasher Museum of Art, 2001 Campus Drive, Durham NC 27705
