Art and Art History

Seven Elon professors are part of a larger effort funded by the Teagle Foundation to study new classroom approaches to the humanities with an emphasis on engaged learning.

Recently retired Professor of Art Ken Hassell just returned from conducting three weeks of research in the South Asian diaspora of Southall in West London.

Evan Gatti, an associate professor of art history, co-edited and authored an essay in "Envisioning the Bishop: Images and the Episcopacy in the Middle Ages," published by Brepols Publishers in their Medieval Church Studies Series.

Evan A. Gatti, associate professor of art history, presented the paper "The Vercelli Roll: The No-Thing That It Is and the Thing It Might Be" in May 2014 in No/Thing: Medieval Art and Apophasis at the International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, Michigan. 

Join the Art History class of 2014 on Monday, May 19, from 9-11 a.m. as students present their senior seminar research projects in the Isabella Cannon Room, Center for the Arts.

A talk/conversation reflecting on life events that directly influenced Associate Professor Ken Hassell's approach to teaching, artmaking, scholarship and life in general takes place at 6 p.m. in the McBride Gathering Space of the Numen Lumen Pavilion.

Families from surrounding communities visited Elon on May 3, 2014, for an inaugural celebration of the humanities and natural sciences that featured music, dance, exhibitions and hands-on activities for children of all ages.
