Art of Innovating: Realizing Your Creative Potential Through Art

On June 2, 1875, a group of art students had the radical idea to create their own art school—one designed for and run byindependent artists.These students broke away from theNational Academy of Design and started the Art Students League of New York—an atelier-style institution whereanyone with an interest in art education can learn traditional fine art technique.Withmore than 100 classes taught in-studio and online, League students make art from day one. League artistslearn by doing, under the guidance of professional artist instructors. Free from a set curriculum and restrictive grading system, League students can focus on making art.There are no applications or prerequisites. Course registration is by the month, and tuition isamong the most affordable in New York City.Visitthe League's websiteand start making art today!

In this lecture, Todd Siler will delve into how his work integrates art and science, interpreting how the mind is connected to all its creations: from the words we use to describe our thoughts and feelings to the technologies we build to see everything in the world around us and within us. He will draw attention to how humankind creates new meanings and purposes for all things by reexamining connections between people and their surroundings. Todd Siler is an internationally recognized multimedia artist, author, inventor and innovation facilitator, who is the founder of The ArtScience® Program for Realizing Human Potential. He received a Bachelor of Arts from Bowdoin College (1975), a Master of Science in Visual Studies from the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at M.I.T. (1981), and a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies in Psychology and Art from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1986, becoming the first visual artist to receive this doctorate at M.I.T. Since 1979, Siler has been represented by the Ronald Feldman Fine Arts in New York City. His artworks are in numerous private and public collections worldwide, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and the Belsar Verlag Print Archives in Stuttgart and Zurich.
