Description
Howard Finster, American, 1916-2001; Oh Say Can You See , 1992; silkscreen on rag paper; Gift of Edwin A. and Lois B. Sieveking Step into the rich and meaningful world of symbolism in this engaging, thought-provoking class! Students will learn the basics of how artists use symbols to communicate ideas, emotions, and stories beyond what is immediately visible. Through discussion and examples, we’ll explore how everyday objects, colors, and imagery can carry deeper meanings. Then, we’ll take the learning beyond the classroom with a visit to the galleries, where students will view works of art through a new lens—identifying symbols and interpreting their significance while continuing class discussion in an inspiring setting. To bring it all together, students will create their own original artwork using symbolism, thoughtfully choosing images and elements that reflect personal ideas and experiences.

More about Taubman Museum of Art
The Taubman is a striking 75,000 square foot Randall Stout-designed building that's hard to miss. Inside are a dozen galleries and a steady rotation of exhibitions throughout the year. They also run evening events, lectures, and community nights that bring in a different crowd than the usual downtown flow. Even if you're just passing through, the space itself is worth seeing.
