New-- Art History
Mondays, Beginning March 8th at 1:00PM
Have you ever looked at a work of art and wondered what drew your attention to it or puzzled the lines and shapes that the artist was thinking? We are continuing our series on Art History. This series introduces a theme for each class which leads into a discussion of inquiry, comments, and opinions about various works of art and of the artists themselves. Toba Weintraub has a BFA from Boston University. She has been an instructor of Art for various institutions in New England. She has had numerous exhibitions throughout New England and has taught many classes at Hamilton House.

Great Courses - History of European Art
Wednesdays, Beginning March 3rd at 11:00AM (No class on March 17th)
The development of the arts in Europe from the Middle Ages to the modern era is an astonishing record of cultural achievement, from the breathtaking architecture of Gothic cathedrals to the daring visual experiments of Cubist painters. We all have our favorite artists, periods, or style, from this immensely rich tradition, but how many of us truly know the full sweep of European art?
"A History of European Art" is your gateway to this visually stunning story. In this series, you will encounter all the landmarks you would expect to find in a comprehensive study of Western Art since the Middle Ages. You will also find works that are completely new to you and be introduced to lesser-known artists.
Your guide on DVD to this collection of art is Prof. William Kloss, an independent art historian long connected with the seminar and tour programs of the Smithsonian Associates at the Smithsonian Institution.
