Sophomore, Product Design & Creative Writing

My tours, for the month of February, are developed around the theme of MEMORY & NOSTALGIA (Spanish-language tours) and SENSORY x EXPERIENCE. While every individual has their own particular story, shared familiarities connect our pasts and the emotions we experience. Through interactive quick sketching and close-looking activities at three selected art pieces currently on display, we’ll explore what elements of our lives transcend to be part of an universal narrative.

Junior, Art History

My tours, for the month of November, are developed around the theme of WATER REFLECTIONS in connection with November’s theme for self-directed art activities available in the Target Gallery. Together, through close looking and discussion, we’ll investigate and discuss three sculptural installations that represent the fluidity of water using solid materials, diving deep into the artists’ unique relationship with their culture and environment through uncommon forms.
