Episode 109 – Coffee with Karl: Being an Art Historian and Curator
Laura and Matt GrundlerKarl Cole
Have your students asked why studying art history is important? It helps us make sense of the past and connect it to the present, exposes us to cultural diversity, and enhances observation skills. Just spend a few minutes with an Art Historian and this becomes clear. But where do you find an Art Historian? Luckily, Davis’s very own Curator of Images Karl Cole is an Art Historian! We’re excited to introduce a new series featuring Karl. In this episode, The Creativity Department and Karl discuss his unique career as Curator and Art Historian for Davis. Hear about what led him to art education and gather information you can use to introduce this interesting occupation to students.
