Course overview
Course description
History: Landscape Painting in Context 20/6/24 and 4/7/24 (for one hour on each date, the remaining hour will be practical art)
Discover how social change, inventions and the industrial revolution influenced artists. Consider the impact of industrial machines, photography and motorised travel and begin to understand how art moved away from realistic paintings to more abstract ways of interpreting the world. What does this tell us? How does our environment influence what we create? We’ll discuss work from diverse artists such as Constable, Monet, Doig and Hockney and take inspiration from their approaches.
