Seeing Time: Strategies for Thinking with Art

In this Gallery Talk, Sydney Skelton Simon, the Bradley Associate Curator of Academic Affairs, demonstrates some of the strategies used by museum educators to facilitate deep thinking with and about works of art. Simon discusses how she guides university classes from a wide range of disciplines to engage with works of art in ways that stretch students’ thinking about course topics in new and creative ways. Inspired by courses from physics, the history of science, and English, Simon invites participants to explore temporality—how time is represented, measured, felt, and even defied—in two works of art.
