Teaching across the Disciplines at the Harvard Art Museum

Two-Point Perspective Gallery Talk

Arthur M. Sackler Museum @ 485 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138

Kelsey McNiff, director of academic partnerships, Harvard Art Museum
Marlon Kuzmick, preceptor, Harvard College Writing Program

Works of art on view and the museum space itself can be used to introduce undergraduates to new ways of thinking and engaging the world around them. Taking the Harvard College Writing Program as an example, the speakers will explore opportunities for teaching in the galleries.

This popular series pairs presenters to consider objects from more than one point of view. The informal talks, by Harvard Art Museum curators, conservators, and educators, and Harvard University faculty members, are designed to stimulate thinking about works of art and encourage participants to explore their own ways of seeing.

Free with the price of admission.
Gallery talks are informal and include discussion.
Limited to 30 participants. Please arrive early.
