"Art, Humanity, and Connection," with Katie Kresser
•
Seattle Pacific University
Dr. Katie Kresser is Seattle Pacific University's resident art historian, and she says great art teaches us empathy, unveils human nature, and forces us to think outside the box. Visual art can reveal the thought processes of people living far away or in our distant past, and for her, art history has been an unparalleled journey of the imagination. If art can help us understand the past, it can surely help us understand our neighbors. Dr. Kresser received her bachelor's degree from Indiana University, her master's and PhD from Harvard University, and has been at SPU since 2006.
