Engaging with art

FREE! Six-week art appreciation course
Wednesdays, 2:30 – 4:00 pm,

 

NOTE: Our Spring session of Engage has been cancelled, but we’ll be back in September. See you then!


Sign up early for another run of Engaging with art!

Artists may spend weeks, months, even years creating a work of art, yet many of us spend only seconds looking at it! This series aims at slowing things down a bit, condensing some really big ideas, and developing tools and practices for looking at and talking about Western visual art. Each week begins with a half-hour-long multi-media presentation on a theme, followed by a short complementary exhibition tour and discussion over coffee.

Series led by Kelowna Art Gallery Education Coordinator, Brenda Feist.

Weekly Themes

An overview of the evolution of art and the gallery.
An introduction to the elements and principles of art.
An introduction to media and meaning.
An introduction to ancient art history.
An introduction to modern and postmodern art.
An introduction to contemporary and public art.

To register please contact Brenda Feist at 250-762-2226, x 312.
