The Colorado College class of 2025 Bridge Scholars visited the FAC Museum during their first week on campus. Students worked in groups to recreate objects from the FAC’s permanent collection. Their mission was to create a movement arrangement that interprets an artwork of their choice which lasts at least 10 seconds and has a beginning, middle, and end.
Below you’ll find the paired artworks with the student videos to showcase their creative interpretations.
