Winter break at the de Young

Ken Alexander with Curtis's show favorite, Tintoretto's Susanna and the Elders.

Over winter break professors Ken Alexander and Curtis Corlew managed to visit the de Young museum just like they are always asking their students to do. Except they didn't assign papers to themselves. They spent a lot of time viewing Masters of Venice: Renaissance Painters of Passion and Power from the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna and a moment in the Ralph Eugene Meatyard: Dolls and Masks show.

The guards kept saying "No photography allowed!" so they didn't make the photos shown here. They just imagined making them. Or something.

They give it all an enthusiastic thumbs up.

Ken Alexander took is design drawing class outside to work on trees. He's not the only art instructor to take learning outside the traditional classroom. From gallery and museum visits to on-site art creation we all enjoy getting out and interacting with the real world.

The art of social justice

Rebecca Talley challenged her Color Theory class to use the universal language of art to create posters for social justice. Students used their individual voices to speak to social change. You can see more of these works in the temporary installation just outside the Art department entrance on the first level of the college complex.
