Pat Guthrie Teaching Gallery
What do a 19th century Japanese Utagawa Kuniyoshi woodblock print, a golden Pre-Columbian frog, and an Edgerton photo of a milk drop all have in common?
All these pieces and more are part of the Spring 2019 Pat Guthrie Teaching Gallery Exhibition, which presents artwork selected by faculty members for specific courses being taught during the current semester at the University of Wyoming. In partnership with the museum, faculty select works of art from our collection that support the content and learning outcomes of their courses.
We are excited to welcome students and faculty from the following courses into the museum:
Dr. Karagh Brummond, honors College
We Are What We Eat is an interdisciplinary upper division Honors College course that strives to teach and exemplify the many disciplines that surround food. This course integrates many topics including but not limited to the biological, political, pathological, and artistic aspects of food consumption and availability. Works of art selected for this class give students another avenue to explore the multifaceted role of food across time, history, and culture.
