Art Appreciation for Contemporary Audiences

Learn to think deeper about works of art, in all media, so you can ask good questions about every work of art you encounter. Class will read, analyze, listen to classmates, artists, and curators, and build an understanding about what makes art an important reflection of the times. Includes recommendations of local museums, studios, and galleries that exemplify the vibrancy of the art community in which we live. Lauri Nelson is an art historian who has worked for curators, art venues, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
