Discussion/Lecture

Mid-semester grades are in and it is time for you to step back and get inspired for the second half of the semester. Research on Color has shown that Blue has a calming effect on the Viewer so let’s go together virtually to the Nassau County Museum of Art.

You just took a quiz on color for homework last week and so I thought this virtual exhibit particularly appropriate for us to visit today together online. Let’s view together this virtual tour of the Nassau County Museum of Art.
