In 1937, Moholy-Nagy founded the New Bauhaus in Chicago, a school that continues today as the Institute of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology. A pioneer of abstraction for the industrial age, Moholy (as he was known) insisted that art must be developed from the materials of one’s time, in his case recorded sound, photography, film, and synthetic plastics. This workshop will feature a tour of the exhibition Moholy-Nagy—Future Present, strategies for engaging students with contemporary and abstract work, and ideas for studio projects that encourage experimentation with a variety of materials in two and three-dimensional media. This program is open to teachers in all grades and disciplines.

Registration is required for this program.
