The Gilded Age

T/AP reconvened on Sunday to make history—quite literally. Joshua Goode led the exercise by discussing possible motivations for ancient man’s image-making practices. Looking at the cave drawings from Lascaux, Stonehenge, and the Venus of Willendorf (among other similar figurines), we wondered if they served some shamanistic, religious, or even scientific purposes. Because these objects are prehistorical (before written records), there are no accompanying documents to tell us what their purposes were—we must theorize.

Printmaking with Joshua Goode

T/AP is back from Spring Break! This week we experimented in printmaking with artist Joshua Goode. Beginning the day with a short presentation about relief prints, Joshua explained how prints are not like paintings or sculptures—the printing process results in multiples, and they are rather cheap to produce. Joshua reviewed printmaking from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance to Modernism, providing examples by artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Käthe Kollwitz, Pablo Picasso, M.C. Escher, and Al Held, among many others.

T/AP in Dallas

Our field trip to various art-related venues in Dallas this past Saturday proved to be a whirlwind adventure! We were welcomed into several different types of art spaces and learned a great deal about each of them in the process. A private collection, galleries, studios, and an art foundation were our visits for the day.
