Step Into Art: Epiphany Students Respond to Paintings from the Harvard Art Museums

Public Events The Gallery Reception celebrating the Step Into Art Exhibition at Gutman Library. The exhibition reflects the multidimensional learning that students from the Epiphany School in Dorchester did over the course of four months through a partnership program led by non-profit Step Into Art, Inc. focusing on powerful paintings from the Harvard Art Museums. Drawing inspiration from the museum paintings they learned about, the students developed compelling paintings of their own representing important life experiences, symbolic events, images of the self, and hopes for the future. In artist statements accompanying their paintings, students articulate in words the stories, emotions, and meaning their paintings express. The exhibition also showcases pieces of imaginative writing: students created narratives, dialogues, and poems in which their own voices bring the museum paintings to life in original and eclectic ways. Type of Event: Reception. Building/Room: Other. Contact Name: Ariana Austin. Sponsoring Organization/Department: Gutman Library. Registration Required: No. Admission Fee: Free. Saturday, May 18, 2013, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM. Gutman Library 1st Floor Gallery.
