From Past TTA 201 Students:
"This was a great course. Luc has a very effective teaching style and his material is innovative."
"Wonderful course. So much fun and entertaining. I would take it again!"
"This was an awesome class that helped me get an order of magnitude better at reading art. The wide variety of techniques and topics was great."
"Luc is a wonderful teacher, I keep coming back. This course went deeper, though. I got to experience artworks in a more personal way than I have ever done before."
"Luc knows how to ask the most awesome questions. He is a super gentle guide and also super talented at helping you learn. What a treasure of delights this course has been!"
"Excellent. Provides a technique to understand and appreciate art and oneself."
"The best next step for those who have read his book. Luc leads an advanced class in making personal connections to art you love. He offers clear guidance, including a one-on-one session with each student. The presentation I developed for the class will be one of my top achievements this year. I loved the course and eagerly await Luc's next adventure in art."
"[TTA 201] helped me to gain a better understanding of why I love the art I love. But even more it helped me to find connections and develop and understanding for art that I may not have loved immediately. Most of all it taught me to immerse myself in the artwork until I could viscerally feel the emotional connection of the piece to my own life and experiences."
"TTA 201 has not only opened up my appreciation for art, but helped me articulate that to others. I see many other uses including photography, writing, presentations, etc. Thank You!"
Romantic Relationships in Art
A New, Four-week Course
Tuesdays - 9pm ET/6pm PT
Starting August 8th
|
What does romantic love look like through the years of a relationship? In this course we'll experience artworks that cover the range of romantic experiences from first flirtations to intimacy between life-long partners.
During each weekly session we'll look a variety paintings from a particular stage of romance, and we'll focus on a couple of particularly powerful artworks. As we immerse ourselves in the stories, we'll also make connections from the artworks to literature and music. (Remembering your Romeo and Juliet, Princess Bride, and La Traviata might come in handy! We will, of course, personally connect to the story-moments to make them all the more meaningful. And we will bond with the artists, themselves, as we learn the secrets of their romantic lives that led them to create their visions. Featured artists will include Vermeer, Rembrandt, Gustave Klimt, Caspar David Friedrich, and many more. You might recognize a couple of the artworks we spend time with, but almost all of them are ones I've never featured in presentations or books. They almost all come from my recent European art adventure. Part I (8/8/23) - Flirtation and Foreplay Remember the first glances, the first whispers, the fear of rejection, the first kiss? We'll see what several artists choose to remember in those early days. Part II (8/15/23) - Consummation and Commitment What does it look like when you both know and decide to be with each other, whether it's sexually or matrimonially? This will be fun session! Part III (8/22/23) - Life Together What happens to romance and intimacy as the years go by, and you have become an ingrained part of each other's lives? What form does it take? Part IV (8/29/23) - Loss and Ecstasy In the final session we will experience the power of romantic love, both in its tragedy and its joy. This session will feature art with poignant musical connections. To Register Choose either "individual" or "couple" registration, and make a payment below.
