Participants will have a chance to better understand and appreciate abstract art from both a historical perspective and through experiential encounters with the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) collections. The format will involve brief presentations, discussions, and field visits to UMMA. There will be no text, but occasionally on-line articles will be assigned. Prerequisites are the ability to walk around the UMMA and access to the Internet for reading assignments.
Helen Weingarten is an associate professor emerita from the U-M School of Social Work and a lifelong art lover, who has led docent tours at UMMA for over 5 years.
This class for those over 50 meets Thursdays, February 12 - March 19.
