Art Explored - Online Course - Adult Learning - 09:30-11:30

About this course

Art Explored aims to reach a historical understanding of the origins, meaning and purpose of art and artefacts from a different period.   

We will explore the circumstances of their making, their makers, the media used, the functions of the images and objects, their critical reception and – not least – their subsequent history.  

This course will introduce artistic styles, specific artistic movements, pivotal paintings and artists. The subject matter will explain painting structure; technique, medium, style, approach and themes from cave decorations to contemporary art. It will include relevant sculptures, applied art and architecture and demonstrate how the works of art are historically and artistically connected. 

Suggested Reading for the course: 

• Sister Wendy's 1000 Masterpieces by Wendy Beckett
