An opportunity to view and make art through the lens of the body
What story does art tell of the body and our relationship to it? Through a mix of gallery tours, discussion, and drawing classes, this course provides an introduction to how art can help us think about the body, and our social engagement with the body. We aim to foster a discussion about the intertwined history of medicine and the visual arts, and to encourage ‘critical’ looking.
This course is co-led by AGO’s artist-instructor Kerry Kim together with Allison Crawford and Lisa Richardson.
