TERM 2 CLASSES BEGIN THURSDAY 12 MAY 2022, 11:00am-12:30pm (NZ Time) If you have always wanted to find out more about the major époques of European art and to identify major styles of architecture, sculpture and painting, this course is for you. This eight-week course, a part of our Art & Architecture series, is aimed at participants with little or no previous knowledge. From the ancient Greeks to the post-modern era, we use exemplary artwork to analyse major trends in Western art. The art objects will be analysed and discussed within the context of important historical & social developments. Participants learn to identify visual art and buildings from, for example, the Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, Georgian, Classicist and Modernist styles on the basis of their typical features.
