Course Description

Over the centuries, there are major themes in the history of art that continue to appear and reappear in different ways and styles. This course addresses FOUR such major themes, namely: PORTRAITURE, LANDSCAPE, RELIGIOUS PICTURES, and the HUMAN FIGURE. Two sessions will be devoted to each theme, exploring the development of each and studying different artists in the process. It is an enriching way of understanding stylistic differences and unique artistic expressions through the ages.

Participants will be able to understand the development of Portraits, landscapes, Holy Pictures, and the Figure through the ages, to study a wide variety of artists from different periods in western art, as well as to appreciate the art produced and how each piece reflects the times when it was produced.
