Look and Learn, Dancing Through Fields of Color

For this virtual Look and Learn, join Post-Baccalaureate Fellow Grayston Barron as she reads “Dancing Through Fields of Color: The Story of Helen Frankenthaler” by Elizabeth Brown and Aimee Sicuro. Helen Frankenthaler (American, 1928-2011) was an Abstract Expressionist who, like Dusti Bongé, splashed her way through the modern art world. After our story, we’ll look at works by Bongé, that use color to express emotion and show viewers a step-by-step art activity inspired by the story.
