Listen Later

AMDG. This episode is all about the accessibility of art history. Friend of the Kolbecast Therese Prudlo and co-host of the Catholic Art History Podcast Amanda Shepard (also the vice president of the Fort Wayne Museum of Art) visit with Bonnie and Steven about experiencing art and introducing it to children. Topics along the way include the sacramentality of creativity, the conversation modern art engages in with its predecessors, ways to approach sensitive subject matter, and Kolbe’s new art history course offering.
