Western New Mexico University, in keeping with the Applied Liberal Arts and Sciences philosophy, has students exploring answers by connecting with artifacts in collaboration with the beginners’ drawing class and the WNMU Museum. According to a release from WNMU, after getting an overview of the WNMU Museum collections, they each chose a piece or grouping of pieces to draw, setting up their easels on site and bedding down in the museum, their studio for a few weeks. Since students’ work is on display as it’s being completed, museum goers can also explore the question “what is art?” while viewing artifacts and art side by side.
