FULL COURSE - Why Should We Art? Creativity & the Human Experience
Creating art is uniquely human. From Stone Age cave paintings to contemporary street art, creative expression is bound to the very essence of our humanity. In this three-session seminar, led by Denver Art Museum teaching specialist and art historian Molly Medakovich, explore the powerful roles and benefits of art in our lives. Through interactive lectures, group discussions, and dedicated time in the galleries, we’ll consider art as a vehicle for personal well-being and mindfulness, community healing and connection, and societal statements and provocation. Walk away with new perspectives on the museum’s global collections and your own relationship to art.
