Have you ever stood before a painting, drawing, or photograph and gotten that warm tingle of familiarity and recognition? Or maybe you spied a sculpture that made you wince with the jack-knife of sadness or smile with the tumble-bumble of elation? In this course, we will explore the many collections of the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) as a means to identify works that speak to us directly, that touch our hearts. Throughout this journey, we’ll ask: What is it that gives a specific work of art the power to kickstart such deep feelings?
Offered in cooperation with MIA.
