Phoenix Art Museum Docents Present: Art All Around Us

How To Look at Art Like a Cro-Magnon

Experience a new perspective on art through these presentations and conversation series by Phoenix Art Museum Docents.

While we can only speculate about the reason for their creation, ancient works discovered worldwide show that early artists used a variety of media and techniques in their creation of the first paintings, engravings, and sculpture. Art of the prehistoric period is based on the same four elements of art (line, shape, color, and texture) as are used by artists throughout history and today. We will examine both ancient and modern works as we explore objects as old as 41,000 years that document our artistic heritage.

Presented by Master Docent Cathie Rubins.
