E- Merge: Evening Workshop for Adults
What is the E for? Everyone. Educator. Enrichment. Enjoyable. Enlightening. And any other e-word you can think of! This new four-week course, led by the collaborative efforts of Susan Cheal and Jennifer Way, offers students with different levels of experience an in-depth look at the Modern’s collection. Combining art historical discussion of works in the galleries and lecture room with short hands-on studio projects, this informative class covers the concepts of video production while learning from two special exhibitions No Room to Answer: Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler and Kara Walker: My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love and works from the Modern’s Permanent Collection. E-Merge offers adult students a new way of looking at the world through the special exhibitions with the ideas and collaborative efforts of two engaging instructors.
Instructors:
Dr. Jennifer Way, Art Historian
Susan Cheal, Artist
Thursdays, October 2, 9, 16, 23, 6–8 pm
