Prints: How Ink & Paper Changed the World (How Do We Art? Winter Course Session 3)

Join us for the inaugural session of our exciting winter course, "How Do We Art: Materials, Methods, and the Stories They Tell! 🎨

About the Course:

Each artwork label at the Denver Art Museum showcases the materials that tell a larger human story. From traditional mediums like oil paint and bronze to everyday items such as bottle caps and pantyhose, explore their profound meanings.

In this engaging three-session course, delve into the museum’s collections, interactive lectures, and hands-on explorations. We’ll examine the question, “How’s it made?” — discovering what materials can reveal about global interactions, scientific progress, and the evolving concept of art over time. Leave with a refreshed outlook on artistic collections and innovative approaches to art.

About This Session (#3):
