Artists have depicted the human figure in recognizable and abstracted ways throughout time. This highly descriptive virtual tour led by docent Michelle Wilcox will explore the human figure using sculptural examples from ancient Egypt to modern Britain to contemporary United States in the Cantor and Anderson Collections. Blind individuals and those with low vision are especially welcome to attend. Bring clay or other pliable materials and pipe cleaners or wire to this virtual discussion if you are able. If you need a disability-related accommodation, please contact cantor_education@stanford.edu. Requests should be made at least one week before the event date.
