Cuyahoga Community College
ZELD5044 - 10/7 & 10/9: CMA Up Close — The Art of Daily Life
Course Description
Presented by the Cleveland Museum of Art
The objects we surround ourselves with in life and in death have many stories to tell. We often learn about the lives of ancient cultures through the objects made for their homes and their burial spaces. From tableware to furniture to textiles, similar kinds of artwork are still valued in our lives today. We might categorize these items as decorative arts, but throughout history, they have been prized for their utility, beauty and symbolism. Session topics will include the special focus gallery exhibition Rose Iron Works and Art Deco as well as various decorative arts across the museum’s exhibitions and permanent collection. All sessions are held at the Cleveland Museum of Art. This on-site course involves walking through the museum galleries and may also include slide presentations in the museum’s lecture hall and viewing objects from the Education Art Collection in a classroom space. Assistive listening devices are available for use in the museum.
Address: Cleveland Museum of Art - 11150 East Blvd., Cleveland, OH 44106
