Relaxed - Friendly - Fun

Each four-week course focuses on an individual artist: each session explores a pivotal artwork in their career.  In our live sessions on Zoom, we'll blend close looking with an exploration of the artist's life and times, with plenty of time for informal discussion throughout.  If you prefer to simply listen in with your mic and camera off - that is absolutely fine!  And no problem if you can't make the live Zoom session: a recording is posted weekly (and available for six months). There is no homework or assessment, just a focus on authenticity, passion and enjoyment.

Join me on an imaginative journey to Paris and the South of France for this deep dive into the extraordinary art of Paul Cezanne.  He was described by both Matisse and Picasso as the 'father' of their generation.  In this course, we'll look at his landscapes, still lifes, portraits and bathers, asking what made his art so groundbreaking, and what gave him the courage to continue in the face of widespread rejection and criticism.

What participants are saying...

"An excellent course.  I learned so much and am now inspired to discover more. You can join in the discussion if you want, or sit quietly in the background.  Whatever you choose, you'll be entertained and informed by Kate's engaging approach to art.  I'm already looking forward to the next course."

"It's been a joy to engage with these art history courses over the past year.  They are wonderfully presented in a relaxed and informal manner.  The approach is informative and friendly with time to share thoughts and engage with Kate and the other participants.  It is so wonderful to learn more about each artist's individual story, their era, and the artistic philosophy of the time."

"The 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 in the coming year."
