ARALEE STRANGE LECTURE: “LEARNING FROM LOSS: PEDAGOGIES OF ART, CREATIVITY AND CHANGE” Thursday, February 22, 5:30 p.m. Karyn Sandlos, associate professor and head of art education at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, will deliver a lecture that explores artistic responses to loss in education and the public sphere. How do the creative processes we find in art and aesthetic experience be - come a resource for learning to live with loss? In the U.S., amid the catastrophic losses of the COVID-19 pandemic, a national conversation about learning loss has reinvigorated educa- tional debates about the most efficient and engaging ways to convey missed curricular content. At the same time, educators are asked to be responsive to new and more challeng- ing forms of student anxiety, disconnection and disengagement. This, too, is a loss; one that can’t be overcome by innovative teaching alone. We are all learning how to re-engage with learning. STUDENT NIGHT Thursday, February 29, 6 – 8 p.m. Join the Georgia Museum of Art Student Association for refreshments, door prizes and themed activities to celebrate the museum’s latest exhibitions, including “Kei Ito: Staring at the Face of the Sun” and “Richard Prince: Tell Me Everything.” Student Night is gener- ously sponsored by the UGA Parents Leader - ship Council.
