Synopsis

In this series Holy Cross students created podcasts about a work of art in the Worcester Art Museum. Their task was to present this work of art via a podcast in such a way(s)that it helps a viewer feel less alone when they encounter the work of art and less separate from it. Students were encouraged to imagine someone listening to their podcast as they looked at the work of art, possibly for the first time.
