MONDAY – Volume 6

<h2>About</h2>
<p>The sixth volume of <em>MONDAY</em>, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery’s arts journal, will debut February 3, 2022. Titled “Lux Aeterna,” the new volume extends the themes and inquiries of the gallery’s 2021 <a href="/news/2021/07/15/lux-aeterna">exhibition</a> of the same name, which considered how technological, economic, and cultural forces shape the ways we produce, share, and experience media — and how that media in turn influences our values and aesthetics. </p>

What does it mean to make meaning? To make objects that have meaning? We will explore, via projects of making, a continuing dialogue between two seemingly disparate disciplines: art and mathematics. 

We’ll tackle a wide variety of questions about creativity, process, social history, and justice, via hands-on experimentation and making. Using logic and imagination in creative problem solving, students will expand the scope of their making, mathematical and artistic, and communication skills.
