World Art History Painting Class

World Art Through the Ages

The instinct to express ourselves and make our mark is integral to the human spirit. From survival necessity, to spiritual or religious connection, recording the beauty of nature and progress of everyday life, art for art’s sake, modern, to post-modern around the world; there’s so much to explore!

In this 10 week art course, we will explore art history from across the globe, chronologically, with the opportunity to create artworks inspired from the techniques, styles, and/or art movements of the time.
