The works in Vestiges and Verse: Notes from the Newfangled Epic<\/em> show expansive worlds inside the minds of the artists. In many cases, the works do so not through representational pictures but through coded systems and ad hoc languages. This interactive tour will focus on works that are not pictorial representations of the artist\u2019s imagination but are nonetheless visual records of the artist\u2019s creative activities and inner worlds.<\/span><\/p>\n New Perspectives tours are led by the American Folk Art Museum teaching fellow, an emerging scholar in art education, art history, or a related field. The topics of the tours are based on the fellow\u2019s ongoing research and are designed to engage participants in focused examinations of selected objects.\u00a0The current American Folk Art Museum teaching fellow is Matthew Capezzuto, a doctoral student in the Department of Art and Art Education at Teachers College, Columbia University.<\/span><\/p>\n Join us to celebrate Art Museum Day with a special guided tour of Vestiges and Verse: Notes from the Newfangled Epic<\/em>.<\/p>\n","start_time":"1:00 pm","end_time":"2:00 pm","admission":"Free","main_content":" Join us to celebrate Art Museum Day<\/a> with a special guided tour of Vestiges and Verse: Notes from the Newfangled Epic<\/em><\/a>.
