Second Street Gallery and the Piedmont Council of the Arts, in collaboration with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Present:
Manuel Alvarez Bravo: Photographer of Mexico's Soul
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
4:30 - 7:00 pm at Second Street Gallery
For teachers, educators, and all those interested in photography!
This information-packed training session will explore the Mexican Renaissance in art that came about in the 1920-30's. Bravo's photographs were deeply rooted in the culture of the Mexican people, and his unique eye for the monumental, the mysterious, and the mundane revealed in the everyday made him a major international figure in the medium. Through the subtleties of human interaction, he made images of dreams, death, and transient life. This workshop utilizes images Manuel Alvarez Bravo created in his full century of life to explore the art, culture, and politics of Mexico during the 20th Century.
Jeffrey Allison, Paul Mellon Collection Educator, VMFA, will lead this workshop that is applicable to all grade levels. Teachers will leave this session with resource guides, PowerPoint, and a CD of images from VMFA's exhibition.
FREE for PCA & SSG Members, $5 for non-members.
Advance registration required, payment can be made at the door.
Refreshments provided!
Please call (434)977-7284, or e-mail outreach@secondstreetgallery.org by February 22nd, 2010 to register!
