MoMA Launches Online Art Courses on Coursera with Focus on Abstract Painting
The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York has introduced a new online course titled 'In the Studio' on the Coursera platform. The inaugural session is led by Corey D'Agostino, a professional in conservation and art history, and concentrates on notable figures from the New York School, including artists such as Jackson Pollock and Yayoi Kusama. The curriculum examines their creative methods and the historical background post-World War II. While the majority of the course contents require a fee, several videos and materials are available at no cost, with scholarships offered for eligible participants.
