Please read the course description -- this is NOT a hands-on art course!
A salmagundi is an asssortment of this and that, a medley, or a potpourri. However mixed, this series of four engaging talks have certain things in common: They all pertain to vision, inventiveness and the arts –to quick-witted ways of looking atlife whether by frolicsome uses of words (metaphors, wit, and feigned mistakes), or by beguiling contrivances like metamorphosis, visual puns, and bewildering juxtapositions.
Each session is a fast-paced, richly illustrated overview of surprising and often amusing effects, both historic and current, as presented by an artist, designer, writer and teacher. Creative minds are certain to enjoy this entertaining exploration of art in its many forms.
The four sessions are:
1.Teaching Drawing in the Dark;
2. I Never Metamorphosis I Didn’t Like;
3. The Purposeful Use of Confusion; and
4. How I Once Made a Magazine.
NOTE: The university is closed on Nov. 4 (Election Day) but this Zoom class will still meet on Nov. 4.
