Join Kay Dunn and Ruth Shedwick-Bryant, touring docents, for an interactive conversation about three artworks in the Museum’s Collection. Before the discussion, find a quiet space. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let it out slowly. Now open your eyes, and engage with the artworks in the image gallery; click on the thumbnail for a larger image, and spend about 15 minutes looking slowly at each.

  • What’s going on in this artwork? What do you see that makes you say that?
  • Does this artwork bring to mind memories of summers past? Why?
  • How does the artist convey time and place in this artwork?
  • Which visual clues do you look for to determine if an image is a photograph or a painting? Do you value one over the other? Why?
