2009 Calendar of Events
Art on Thursday at Museum
of TTU
A
hands-on art class for adults, ages 18 and older.
Explore the elements of art and the principles of design through special
tours in the Museum Galleries and a variety of hands on materials and
activities.
The March session will explore the element of line and will include
exploration of the Davies Gallery of Southwestern Art. We will use pencil and
paper to explore line as a tool for drawing and expression.
No artistic experience or knowledge of art is required to participate. The
purpose of each class is to provide art educational experience to enhance
encounters with and understanding of the visual arts through hands-on
experience with diverse materials through accessing the resources of the Museum of TTU.
Limited to 20 participants
Classes will be held the second Thursday of each month at the Museum of Texas
Tech University
Classes will be taught by Dr. Jill Hoffman, Helen DeVitt
Jones Curator of Education for the Museum
$5.00 per person per class, to cover the cost of supplies
Classes will meet in the Old Assembly room on the ground floor of the Museum,
across from the Moody Planetarium
Each class will be a single event, so beginning a class at any time, and
attending various, non-sequential dates is fine. The class will explore
various materials and processes and will, at times explore ideas, themes and
processes reflected with the collections of the Museum of Texas Tech
University.
Pre-registration is required.
