Full course description
The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) has one of the largest and most significant art collections in the United States with more than 65,000 artworks that date from the earliest civilizations to the present. Join us for a special ‘Behind the Seen’ tour of selected art in this prestigious collection. As February is the month in which we celebrate connections of the heart, we will explore specific works of art that look more closely on this theme. Scientists have proven that when experiencing “love,” brain cells release dopamine, a natural stimulant, to many regions of the brain that affect human behavior. These areas of the brain are associated with wanting, motivation, focus, and craving. During this virtual tour that will be led by a trained DIA docent, we view a selection of works that explore the variety of behaviors associated with “love.”
