SUMMARY:Community Created Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very special edition of Creative Saturdays with artist Natasha Bowdoin! Natasha Bowdoin’s site-specific art installation Spring Song was the inspiration for this year’s Community Created\, an annual project built for educators\, educational partners\, and students. \nAMFA is committed to offering arts programming to every community across the state. AMFA provides free curriculum materials and programming to thousands of Arkansans to engage with art and artists. Since August of 2023\, hundreds of schools and community organizations have studied and created art for Community Created and now it’s time to bring the project to the Museum! \nAll young artists who were involved in Community Created this school year are invited to add their artwork to the public installation on the Art Lawn. Guests of all ages and skill levels are welcome to create their own works of art and contribute to the installation during a free art-making activity in the Flex Studio led by Natasha herself. \n\nPhoto by Jason Masters. \nCommunity Created is supported by the Alice L. Walton Foundation. \nNatasha Bowdoin: Spring Song is supported by Bank of America. \n

SUMMARY:Reframed: An Art History Class
DESCRIPTION:Art plays an important role in our perception of the expression of emotions. Having awareness of our own body’s movements as we observe paintings can disclose new ways of understanding expression in art\, nature\, and people. \nJoin James Dow\, PhD\, Professor of Philosophy and the Director of Marshall T. Steel Center for the Study of Religion and Philosophy at Hendrix College\, as he discusses how empathy can be cultivated through engagement with expression in paintings. \nRegistered participants will also enjoy a charcuterie board\, beverages\, and a complimentary AMFA sketchbook. \nAbout James Dow\n\n\n\n\n\nJames (Jamie) Dow is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Hendrix College\, Director of the Steel Center for the Study of Religion and Philosophy\, and Chair of the Study of the Mind. Jamie teaches courses in the departments of philosophy\, cognitive science\, and environmental studies focusing on philosophy of mind\, environmental philosophy\, action theory\, and aesthetics. \n\n\n\nSince completing his Ph.D. at the CUNY Graduate Center in 2011\, he has published articles on self-consciousness\, expert bodily action\, joint action\, environmental disobedience\, and nature aesthetics. \n\n\n\nHe is now working on a book– Enacting Nature’s Value – which argues for an enactivist approach to environmental value focusing on the aesthetic appreciation of natural environments. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
