Seeing Red: Renoir to Warhol presented by Laura Lynch
12:30 - 3:00
NCMA's current exhibition Seeing Red: Renoir to Warhol features more than 70 artists, both established and emerging, ranging from the classical to the contemporary. We invite teachers from all disciplines to join us for a deep dive into aesthetic, sociopolitical, and scientific qualities of the color RED and the many meanings, connotations, and associations of this powerful color in art.
After an exploration of the dynamic, thought provoking, and wide-ranging works on view, including works which take inspiration from Campbell Soup to Leonardo da Vinci!, teachers will explore the process of creative expression. Integrating the practice of Mindfulness experienced in our morning program facilitated by Laura Campbell, program participants will reflect on what inspires them as they make their own works of art (no previous art skills required!) while listening to a selection of musical compositions.
