Art Bite “Body Talk”

Thursday, Oct. 22, 2015

07:30 PM – 07:50 PM
US/Central

So much communication occurs through body language. Gestures, eye contact, facial expressions, and the way a body is carried all send nonverbal messages. Visitors are invited on this tour to discover how body language speaks volumes in works of art.

Art Bite tours are a series of lively, 20-minute gallery tours that feature one or two specific art objects. These “bite”-size gallery experiences are quite a treat!
