Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum
reCONNECTING with the Cool: Art, Architecture, and Jazz of 1950's California

Engaging directly with works of art on display in the Birth of the Cool exhibition, participating students will be invited to experience the cultural realm of the "cool" through painting, graphic design, animation, architecture, photography, and jazz music. Students will learn about the central themes of the exhibition, and also have a chance to consider challenging and relevant questions about what makes a style "cool," the timelessness of "cool," and how that connects to what we consider "cool" today.
