In this workshop, participants will look at artwork from the past and present, and explore how artists consider their subjects in their own artistic practice and in the ways they present their work to the world. How to analyze artworks using simple clear language will be demonstrated, and historical context of each artwork will be presented. Students will have the chance to examine artworks and discuss the impact of each work.

By participating in this arts-based course learners are expected to improve their communication, empathy, collaboration, and teamwork skills. They will develop a greater sense of cultural humility, enabling them to engage with patients and colleagues in ways that respect cultural, social, and individual differences. The goal of this Arts-Based course is to improve the quality of effective communication, empathy, and teamwork for physicians.

Jessica Singerman makes paintings, video, sound, sculpture, and installation, often with references to the landscape. In her work she aims to engage the senses, provoke reflection on our connection to the natural world, and underscore the fragility of the landscape, while allowing space for joy.

Singerman lived alternatively in France and the United States during her early life. She earned her BA in Studio Art in 2002 from the College of William & Mary, Virginia, and her Master of Fine Arts in Painting in 2004 from the University of Delaware. She teaches at UNC School of the Arts.
