SUMMARY:Self-Portraiture + Intergenerational Connections
DESCRIPTION:Self-Portraiture + Intergenerational Connections \nThree Mondays\, Begins August 2 – 16\, 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM\n*Space is limited* \nMost people think the “selfie” is a relatively new concept in photography\, but artists have been documenting themselves since the camera was invented. In this workshop\, we’ll look at artists who used self-portraiture\, become familiar its many forms\, and cover approaches to produce our own self-portraits by working individually and as part of a group “collective” along with DOROT’s summer teen interns. We’ll also explore how to edit our work digitally using apps like Instagram to share our work and gain a following.

SUMMARY:Art Wars! The Founding of the Met\, MoMA and Whitney
DESCRIPTION:and What Each Museum Argues is Art \nAfter the Civil War\, stewards of our young nation sought to develop artists with talent to rival that of Old Europe\, elevate the level of refinement of the average American\, and prove that we could be preoccupied with more than money. On this virtual Museum Mile tour\, we’ll discover how the keepers of our first cultural collections defined art and decided what would or would not hang within their walls\, all while competing with each other and highbrow institutions overseas. This tour focuses on museum architecture as a reflection of the founders\, missions\, and the collections of each\, as well as the surprising role the U.S. government played in defining what is art.
