WOMEN ARTISTS IN ARCHITECTURE
Presentation
Our alumni often reminisce about the Monday morning all-school gatherings when they sat silently in an auditorium staring at slides (yes, the ones with the slide projector!) and learning about different artists and their mediums. They may not have been so enthusiastic about these gatherings at the time, but they now realize that those Looking at Art sessions sparked a love for the arts that has stayed with them.
Today, Teacher Deborah consciously includes a diverse variety of artists mirroring the varied makeup of our student body. Her commitment to inclusivity is unwavering, as she continues to inspire the next generation.
Stay tuned for this bi-weekly Looking at Art Latest News feature to learn alongside our students and broaden your own appreciation for art.
This week's presentation featured Iraqi-British architect and artist, Zaha Hadid and at the next gathering they'll learn about American designer and sculptor Maya Lin.
People ask ‘What is it like to be a woman architect?’ and I say ‘I don’t know, I’ve not been a man.’ Zaha Hadid
‘Sometimes I think creativity is magic; it’s not a matter of finding an idea, but allowing the idea to find you.’ Maya Lin
