Virtual Art Saturday High School Workshop: How Do Contemporary Photographers Depict the Anthropocene?

Many experts characterize the Anthropocene, the current period in the earths’ history, as a time when human activity has been the dominant influence on the Earth’s climate and environment. Examine the art of three contemporary photographers from the Maier’s fall exhibition, Time & Place: Water, Sky, Land.  Curator of education, Laura McManus, will present Terry Evan’s large-scale photomontages of the American Plains, Mark Klett’s “rephotographs” of American Southwest deserts and James Balog’s time-lapse photographs and videos.  An art challenge is included.

Open to high school students, free of charge.

This workshop is virtual via Zoom. A link will be emailed prior to the workshop.
