Workshops
Riding the Strong Currents: 20th and 21st Century Chinese Paintings from the Allen Memorial Art Museum
Join us and the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College for a workshop exploring 20th and 21st century Chinese paintings. This talk will introduce works by Huáng Bīnhóng (1864–1955) and other Chinese painters who have navigated the volatile currents of 20th and early 21st century history and reflected in their art the dynamic character of the times. Kevin Greenwood, Joan L. Danforth Curator of Asian Art at the Allen Memorial Art Museum, will present a talk examining modern and contemporary Chinese painting from 1957 to today. Jill Greenwood, the Eric & Jane Nord Family Curator of Education at the Allen, will provide information about the museum's resources for teachers, such as lesson plans, augmented reality tours, cell app, videos, the touch collection, tours, bus funding, and the eMuseum database, many of which were developed with funding from the Freeman Foundation.
