NOW–28 MAR 2021Through teaching and learning, techniques and ideas circulate; they marinate; they reemerge. Concepts and methods – some visible and others invisible—can provide a through line in work from teachers and their students. In this exhibition, we invite you to move through a gathered selection of intergenerational artwork and discern what was picked up, what was embraced, and what was left behind. Exhibiting artists include: Donna R. Charging, Theresa Cole, Tim Dooley, Shirley Eliason Haupt, Anita Jung, Ann Renée Lighter, Janice Marin, Dana Potter, Jo Siddens, Duane Slick, Linnea Sumner, Kyjuan D.E. Washington, Aaron Wilson, and Molly Zuckerman-Hartung.

TEACHER | STUDENT is made possible in part with support from the Hearst’s Robert and Shirley Berg Fund at the Cedar Falls Community Foundation.

Kate Brennan Hall is a graduate of the Minneapolis College of Art + Design where she focused on illustration + printmaking. She has worked with clients such as Target, Mastercard, Blue Cross Blue Shield, American Airlines, and Doubleday; she has exhibited her work in Europe and the United States.

Kenyon is a retired veterinarian in a mixed animal practice in Iowa and a seven-time veterinarian for the Alaska Iditarod Dog Sled Race. He also served for twenty-four years on his local school board.

BACKYARD CONCERT—KEVIN BURTThursday, June 3 at 6:00 p.m. in the Hearst Sculpture GardenFor nearly three decades, Kevin Burt, Iowa Blues Hall of Fame member, has been mesmerizing audiences with his powerfully smooth and soulful vocals. Paired with his unique harmonica and guitar presentation along with his quick wit, Burt engages with his audience touching their souls while tickling their funny bones. Burt (born and raised in Waterloo, IA) dispelled the myth that there was no such thing as Iowa Blues by becoming the first artist in the 35-year history of the International Blues Challenge (2018) to sweep the awards by claiming top prizes in three categories: Solo/Duo, Solo/Duo Guitar and Harmonica. While Burt spends a lot more time on the road these days, he keeps to his Iowa roots by continuing with his Blues in the Schools program and supporting community events.

VIRTUAL! EKPHRASTIC DRAWING WORKSHOPTuesday, March 9 from 6:00–9:00 p.m.The term “ekphrasis” comes from ancient Greek, meaning “a description.” Ekphrastic drawing is a way to mirror, reconstruct, or deconstruct a visual image. Utilizing a similar form and strategy to Ekphrastic writing, workshop participants respond, incorporate, investigate, and interpret a work of art through drawing. This workshop is designed to cultivate a beginner’s creative drawing technique. This drawing approach will offer a new way of looking deeply at an object/image; generating a different strategy for articulating into drawing what’s been observed; and furthering our exploration of how a specific work of art sparks within us new insights, surprising feelings, and intellectual connections. An initial image will be provided during the demonstration and exercise, but participants are encouraged to have an image of their choice for the independent drawing time. This can be an image of their favorite work of art, a personal photograph, or any object/image.
