Tech Talk #3-Art Inspiration

Photo by PD Rearick.

Learn how to examine different aspects of your life as resources for art ideas. Corrie Baldauf looks to her friendships, personal challenges, and the artists in the classes she teaches to find inspiration for her art practice. Finding a way to engage in a text, navigating through traffic, or having to wake up before sunrise is fodder for making art.
Join us for this informal introduction to technology.

Presented by Prof. Corrie Baldauf
