Participants in this fun and fascinating course will become art history “detectives” as they collect and decipher the clues artists have hidden in well-known works of art! This four-week course will empower learners by revealing the meanings behind COLORS, SYMBOLS and repeated STORIES, helping to demystify some of the world’s great artworks. This class is lecture and discussion based - questions and open dialogue are encouraged, and aims to broaden the scope of art history and art appreciation beyond the outdated Western, Eurocentric model. We’ll compare how the artistic meanings and interpretations of COLORS, SYMBOLS and repeated STORIES have evolved over time and across cultures.
