Working Over Wood: Recomposing the Grant Wood Murals<br />
</strong><em>Thursday, January 26 at 7:00 pm in the Christian Petersen Art Museum</em><br />
Join artist, Jennifer Drinkwater, as she discusses her recent project to reinterpret and recompose the original nine panels designed by Grant Wood for the mural <em>When Tillage Begins, Other Arts Follow</em>.  Each original mural panel has been recreated on a 2.5 x 6 foot piece of steel, providing the background on which viewers are encouraged to participate by composing the rest of the painting through placement of painted magnets.   Participants are able to physically create and manipulate the compositions therefore creating their own meaning. </p>
<p><strong>Working Over Wood: Artist Studio Open House<br />
</strong><em>And every Friday this semester (from 11am to 4pm),</em> join Jennifer Drinkwater for <strong>Working Over Wood: Artist Studio Open House</strong>!<strong>  </strong>Drinkwater will set up her studio in the ground floor gallery of the Christian Petersen Art Museum – Room 0003 and you are invited to visit with her, paint, and engage with art in a new way!<strong></strong></p>
