#8 ART LAB: Shaping Your Own Interpretation
Level up your skills with this Art Lab created for the novice and connoisseur alike! After an introductory lecture, students will practice a foundational skill for visual art interpretation: formal analysis. This tool is the key to developing a nuanced interpretation of any visual work, especially abstract art. We’ll begin the formal analysis process on at least one modern abstract artwork and exercise this skill in real time as a class and in small groups. (Students will also have an optional opportunity to prepare ahead of time.)
