Artist Talk: Ariela Robinson: Literature, Art, and Her Portrait of Lady Macbeth

Wednesday, November 1, 2023
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
New DVDs

Ariela Robinson shares how painting provided new insight into the character of Lady Macbeth, as well as art's potential in teaching literature.

Ariela Robinson taught Shakespeare’s Macbeth more than 20 times throughout her career as a high school English teacher. But in the fall of 2022, Lady Macbeth came alive for her in a different way through her work as a visual artist. From the text to the canvas, again and again, she painted her portrait and explored the complexities of her character.

In this talk, Ariela will speak about her journey as both an English educator and an artist--and how both of these roles worked together to allow her to more fully understand Shakespeare's character, Lady Macbeth, as well as art's potential in teaching literature.
