Have you ever thought about the hidden secrets behind works of art?
Join us at Studio 6, Pateley Makers Yard for this series of art appreciation discussions with Biddy Noakes, where we will be looking at some of the secrets behind selected works of art.
This short 5 session course is suitable for art enthusiasts who would enjoy looking at and discussing works of art in a self-supporting atmosphere. It aims to develop a critical awareness of the techniques, concepts and contexts surrounding selected images. It is deliberately not an academic accredited History of Art course, but is designed to concentrate on the appreciation and deeper understanding of a range of imagery, concepts and materials associated with different genres of painting and sculpture.
You'll finish the course with new skills, newfound confidence, and hopefully a new way of looking at works of art, beyond the immediately obvious.
The sessions are is beginner friendly, and also suitable for those with some background knowledge of the arts. Just bring your creativity and enthusiasm, and enjoy some art theory in a friendly and welcoming environment!
The course consists of five evening sessions, which can be booked either as a package of all 5 sessions for £50, or individual sessions for £12 per session.
Topics
Session 1: ‘The more you look the more you see’ - The Art of Looking
