Art of the Story

Saturday, April 13, 2019
10 - 11 am
Throughout the Museum

Artists have always looked to the past as a source of creative inspiration. Renaissance artists used ancient history in their work, both as a source for narrative and for connections to contemporary events. Museum Teacher Ray Oliva leads an interactive exploration of works of art as vehicles for conveying ancient wisdom, morality, and truth.

Through a closer look at composition, color, light, choice of medium, and more, we will discuss how the artist succeeded (or not) in conveying the essence of each underlying story.
