Join ODU art education students for Reflective Realities!

This three-day workshop is presented by Kaya Mensah and Makayla Burgess in partnership with the Chrysler Museum of Art. Focusing on the theme of reflection and perception, this program invites students to explore how artists use mirrors, light, and repetition to create meaningful art and experiences. Drawing inspiration from various contemporary artists, such as Olafur Eliasson who is known for his playful glass installations that bend light and explore perspective, students will learn about the ways that reflections can shape our reality. Additional contemporary works of art will be investigated to spark curiosity and discussion. Over the course of three-days students will experiment with a variety of hands-on processes by creating a kaleidoscope, designing a decorative mirror, and exploring printmaking techniques that play with mirror images. By the end of the sessions, students will take three unique works of art inspired by their investigations into the museum collections, while reflecting on art with their newly found perspectives
