Description
This class has received rave reviews from our members. Using art at the Memorial Art Gallery, the docents will guide you through the Gallery, teaching art appreciation skills of observation and interpretation. You will learn new ways to look at, and engage deeply with, works of art. Your new skills will enable you to enjoy art differently in the future. One of the weeks will concentrate on a temporary exhibit.
May’s temporary exhibition is ‘Composing Color: Paintings by Alma Thomas:’ see the world through the eyes of this singular figure in the story of twentieth-century American art. Thomas developed her exuberant form of abstract painting after retiring from a long career as a schoolteacher. Taking inspiration from nature, the cosmos, and music for her vibrant, rhythmic art, Alma Thomas incorporated the intuitive approach of gestural abstraction and beaming hues of color field painting into her work, which goes beyond established genres.
Pay at registration, not at the door. RSVP by 5/6/25 at noon.
