SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: A Slow Art Experience
DESCRIPTION:Take time for yourself for a special series we are calling Lunch & Learn: A Slow Art Experience. \nWhat is Slow Art?  \nMost of us stroll through an art gallery\, pausing at a piece of art for a few moments before moving on to the next\, like some form of visual buffet. Slow Art as a concept was created to encourage us all to stay with the art for a little longer\, savor\, and soak it in. The hope is that we not only see more\, but also get to know the works in greater detail. Exploring artworks more slowly can help us to form more stories\, feelings\, and opinions about the works. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Exploring Horizon Line: Art and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Elizabeth Chew will consider how art shaped Americans’ perceptions of the American Revolution. Works of art created during and after the war enabled Americans (first as colonists\, then as citizens of a new country) to picture the stories and heroes of the fight for independence. Furthermore\, works by artists Charles Willson Peale\, John Singleton Copley\, John Trumbull\, and others provided Americans with a shared origin story for their new nation. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Monuments & Mythmaking: Creating the American Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Art allows humans to imagine people and places they’ve met or visited\, but that imagining is always mediated by the artist and their own perspective. As early as the beginning of the nineteenth century\, Americans used visual art to imagine North American environments and their place within those landscapes. This talk will examine how artists\, tourism boosters\, politicians\, and others\, wielded landscape painting and photography to various ends\, including the dispossession of Indigenous lands\, imagining technological futures\, and the creation of the national park system in the United States. \nWebsite
