The Rubin Center hosted an artist-led walkthrough of Suzi Davidoff: Simplified World and participants took a short hike through the surrounding areas, in an effort to understanding how the artist uses different approaches to understanding the natural world through her art. In her exhibition, Davidoff presents a series of drawings on found maps and globes and with an accompanying hand-drawn animation that is a conversation about human-wrought changes in the ecosystem. It is an exploration of the contrast between the clarity and wonder of the natural world and the present instability of specific natural forms, both seen and unseen, which may soon disappear. Area educators learned how they can best incorporate geography and science into innovative contemporary art practices with their own work and with students of all ages.
The Rubin Center and Creative Kids hosted an opportunity exclusively for educators from all disciplines where they engaged in a 4-hour studio workshop integrating the key elements and principles of strong composition in art and design.
