NEW! Modern Art Madness, Part 1

This introductory survey offers an in-depth look at the “why” behind Modern Art’s varied art movements. Explore and demystify the many “-isms” that fall under the umbrella of Modern Art like Cubism, Expressionism, Fauvism and Abstract Expressionism, discuss Modern Art’s “origin story” rooted in Impressionism and connect the art historical dots for a deeper understanding of the powerful art of the 20th century. Join us for a lively conversation each week with no wrong answers! Partner class with District 191.
