"I absolutely loved the course. It's been brilliant. See you on the next one."
"The Turner course was truly excellent and I found it very engaging. With your enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject I was able, like many other participants, to refine my observation skills. I plan to join you again for Manet in the coming year."
"Kate is a great animator of art, showing us how to really look at a painting and giving historical context to bring it alive. I shall certainly sign up for more!"
I'm Kate Dunton and I'm an art historian with almost thirty years experience teaching in art museums and universities here in the UK. I'm a passionate believer that art is best approached in a natural and intuitive way as part of everyday life. My role is to help you hone your eye, and provide just enough context and information to help you unlock the artworks in ways that are authentic, inspiring and meaningful to you.
