This workshop will take place August 9 – 13, 2021
Funded by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, this workshop will offer an integrated curriculum of Technical and Digital Art History via the special case history of color. Through a combination of seminars, demonstrations, and hands-on labs led by a distinguished faculty of scientists and historians, participants can expect to leave the workshop better equipped to understand historical colorants and their production as well as the ways in which digital cultures can distort or ameliorate historians’ approach to such colorants.
The concept for this workshop arose out of a symposium held at Penn State in the fall of 2018,
“Bugs, Boulders, Beakers: The Materiality of Artists’ Colors”
