Ep. 395 - More Ideas for Engagement with Art History

11/14/23 • 35 min

As Tim said last month, we know students can be reluctant when it comes to art history, but we also know that artists from every time and place can inspire some incredible work. In today's episode, Tim follows up on the last art history episode and brings on guest Kyle Wood to share some of his best ideas on how to engage with art history in the art room. Listen as they discuss solving art history mysteries, different ways that art history can create engagement, and the artworks that students might want to bring into outer space.
