Teaching from the Collection (3)

Rich possibilities for discovery arise when Wesleyan students explore the museum collection by working directly with original objects.

The original object held in the hand becomes a vital force extending back to the maker. Students learn to ask questions of the objects they hold. Was the print before one intended to disseminate another person's ideas? To spur a critical view of society? To explore a painter's own ideas in a new printmaking medium?
