This is the first session of our three-session winter course titled "How Do We Art: Materials, Methods, and the Stories They Tell."ABOUT THE COURSE:
Each label in the Denver Art Museum lists the artwork’s materials. From traditional mediums (oil paint, bronze, clay) to everyday objects (bottle caps, fluorescents lights, pantyhose), these materials have larger human stories to tell.
In this three-session course, experience the museum’s collections with a look at creative processes and materials. Through interactive lectures, hands-on exploration, and time in the galleries, we’ll ask, “How’s it made?” and learn what materials and methods can tell us about global human contact, scientific and creative innovation, and changing definitions of art across time. Walk away with refreshed perspectives on the collections and discover new ways of approaching any work of art.
ABOUT THIS SESSION (#3):
Celebrate Denver’s Month of Printmaking (Mo’Print) with a deep dive into printmaking processes and histories.
Pre-social media, printmaking revolutionized communication, access to images, and creative expression. In this session, learn about printmaking techniques (engraving, woodcut, lithography, screenprint, and more), and consider how prints have helped us to rally for a cause, advertise, document, and share beauty.
