OLLI Fall Session 2017   http://learnmore.duke.edu/olli/ ​
American Art: from colonial to modern

This fall we will venture back to the beginnings of American Art. In this 6 week course we will use the encyclopedic collection of the North Carolina Museum of Art to survey American Art from colonial times to early 20th-century modernism. Each week lectures in the Museum Auditorium will alternate with Gallery Sessions in which we will look closely at works that were discussed in the lecture.
