Join us at the historic Inverlochy house in discovering and decoding the world of art history. Coffee & tea provided.
Art History is a study of visual arts across time and cultures. It involves analysing artworks to understand visual language in its social, historical, political context, values and human expressions. It helps us to develop critical thinking to interpret how visual culture impacts the society and identity.
The focus this term will be as follows:
The first month will cover briefly the Prehistoric, Ancient, Greco- Roman art followed by the Renaissance period, looking at the works of the great masters like Donatello, Ghiberti, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Albrecht Dürer, Jan van Eyck and Hieronymus Bosch.
In the second month we look at Baroque, Rococo, Romanticism briefly, and then study Modern movements like Impressionism, Surrealism, Expressionism & Cubism, looking at artists like Monet, Degas, Manet, Cezanne, Seurat, Van Gogh to name a few. We also hold discussions on Dali, Matisse, Kandinsky, Mondrian, Rothko, Pollock and end with Picasso, among others.
Recommended materials: writing utensil and notebook.
