Teacher Workshop: Seeing All Sides: Integrating Two- and Three-Dimensional Art
February 18, 2012, 10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
Enjoy a “multidimensional” conversation about the relationship between paintings and sculptures, how artists have bridged the gaps between these art forms, and how teachers may incorporate the third dimension into student learning. Participants will begin the day at the Meadows Museum, and travel to the Nasher Sculpture Center in the afternoon. Box lunches and transportation between museums will be provided.
