Art Assignment: Teaching and Learning with FAM’s Collection

For Faculty and Staff: Teaching with Art Across the Curriculum

Tuesday, March 5, 8:30 – 9:45 a.m. | CAD Link
This event is for St. Olaf faculty and staff, co-presented by the Flaten Art Museum and the Center for Innovation in the Liberal Arts (CILA). RSVP to attend by Thursday, February 22.

Works of art are portals, critiques, appetizers, mirrors, salves, and time machines. Art Assignment: Teaching and Learning with FAM’s Collection highlights the ways St. Olaf faculty enrich their curriculum with artwork from the museum’s permanent collection. This exhibition features six salient themes that resonate across the college curriculum, offering a springboard for creative and critical exploration across academic disciplines: Photography and Power, Technical Art History, Korean Material Culture, Visualizing Mathematics, Sensing Abstraction, Gender and Propaganda.

The exhibition’s interdisciplinary Teaching Guide features images and conversation prompts that engage the artwork on display.
