This class was very well put together. I loved the course readings, and the videos were very helpful in demonstrating the lessons. I'd definitely take a course from MoMA again.
Reviewed on Jul 5, 2020
I am an IB teacher and this course perfectly compliment my training. I can't wait to start using art and objects more as provocations and inquiries.
Reviewed on Apr 22, 2020
I was able to take away a lot of interesting things for my teaching but also for my own way of interacting with art. Thank you!
