Join us this winter for Looking Closely at Art, a thoughtful seven-week exploration of how and why we connect with visual art. Designed for curious beginners and seasoned art lovers alike, this series builds a strong foundation in the principles of art design, composition, and style. Participants will learn how these elements shape our experience of art and discover new ways to observe, interpret, and enjoy the work around us.
With that groundwork in place, the class will move into focused sessions on landscapes, abstract art, portraiture, and photography. Each week offers guided conversation and close looking, helping you deepen your understanding of artistic choices and expand your capacity to see with intention.
No previous art experience is needed, just an interest in learning and a desire to engage more fully with art.
