Adult Programs | Modernism Program
Modernism is always contemporary, individual and relevant to the here and now. To be a modernist is to be aware of the great art of the past, conscious of the present and open to new ideas and aesthetics while exploring new ways of best expressing your personal vision.
Charles Emerson, Margaret Davidson and Barbara Fugate, three long-standing Gage instructors, have built a two-year Modernism Series curriculum covering the development of Modernism from the old masters up to the present day. Each instructor will teach one class per quarter beginning this Fall 2010 through Spring 2012. See the full curriculum outlined below; note that exact titles may change and will be updated each quarter.
