Adventures in Looking at Art
October 15 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Join us for a discussion analyzing the works of modern and contemporary art. Artists invest a considerable amount of their intellect, emotions, senses, and spirituality to give outward form to their inner voice.
One of the great joys of viewing art is tussling the meaning out of an object made by another human being. Central to this effort is the object’s physicality. Exploring how surface texture, formal relationships, gestural Nuance, palette, or patina support the content of the artwork is a rewarding endeavor.
