DESCRIPTION:

For those who may have missed DAM’s, “Brilliant-Cartier in the 20th Century,” you can purchase an optional ticket for just the first date of DAM Great Art or just enjoy the rest of the four classes as a stand-alone class this semester. Both the DAM curator Donna Pierce, and the conservator, Gina Laurant, join us for the exhibition “Glitterati” to guide us through portraits, furniture and jewelry drawn from the DAM’s world-renowned Spanish Colonial collection. We’ll also see Asian silk robes, Native American beaded adornment, jewelry and clothing in the British portraits, sparkling Pre-Columbian gold, and one of the most exquisite Tibetan art forms, DAM’s unique sand mandala, all are considered artistic “gems” in the collection. Also included is the special exhibition “Miro-The Experience of Seeing” with Master Teacher Danielle Stevens.

If Academy members show as much enthusiasm for this course as in the past, our generous course leaders have agreed to put on a repeat session this term. Get the same four sessions as above (without Brilliant), and just as much beauty and fun. Timing will be determined by the amount of sign-ups.
