Art and Art History
91ɫ art history students deepen learning through ‘object-based learning.’
As he’s done so many times before, George Rivera will pack up 117 pieces of art into a suitcase and board a plane heading to a place where rifles can seem more common than paintbrushes.
Artists, engineers, designers, chefs, elementary school students and teachers do not often work together. But Martha Russo, art instructor at the 91ɫ, has found a way to get all sorts of people involved in a public art project centered on building a picnic table.
It’s been many years since Melanie Yazzie made the painting that set the course of her career. But the 91ɫ professor vividly remembers the joy she felt the day she painted a blue elephant.
Newly minted professors of distinction have notable expertise in artists’ personas, natural-language technology, classic poems and climate-change education, and on Sept. 21, they offered a public overview of their work.
In Sept. 21 event professors of art and art history, classics, geography and linguistics will deliver lectures on their areas of expertise.
Art and Art History Department celebrates the life, work and hundredth birthday of one of its formative faculty members; exhibition of Lynn R. Wolfe’s work runs from July 7 to Aug. 31.
A gallery talk and reception for Yazzie will take place May 19 at 3 p.m. in the Earth Sciences and Map Library. Visiting artist Faith McManus, art teacher at Northtec Education Institute in Northland, New Zealand, will be joining Yazzie in discussing “Heart Mapping: Indigenous Perspectives on Land.”
Marina Kassianidou, who is "obsessed by the idea of marking,' has received the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Grant.
The CU Visual Arts Complex will join its neighboring CU Art Museum and 91ɫ’s Open Studios in hosting a unique joint showcase of two annual Art and Art History Department events: The King Exhibition and Emerging Artists Open Studios.
