Art History for Beginners – 4 Week Course

07 January 2027 9:30 am - 12:00 pm

Starting 7th January 2027 for 4 weeks.

£45 for the full course, payable in advance.

What can a flower say without words?

Why do artists use particular animals as symbols?

How have ordinary marks and objects acquired extraordinary meanings? And why do some works of art develop reputations for being haunted or cursed?

This four-week course explores the relationship between art, symbolism, belief and storytelling.  Each week begins with approximately 45 minutes of accessible, illustrated and interactive art history, followed by 1¾ hours practical session.  Each week introduces a different artistic medium.

Prospectus with course description and materials required available upon request.
