An Art History Course Covering The Painting and Sculpture of the Italian Renaissance
UPDATE: Recordings-Only Option is Available!
(Live classes are FULL)
Join me as I delve into my first ever "Art History" course.
In many ways this will feel like familiar TTA: reading and personally connecting to art will be the foundation. Then, we will add the element of getting to know each individual artists' spirit. Finally, the added, "art history" element will be to answer this question: "What would it be like to experience the art of Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Raphael as if we were living in their time?"
In this course, we will be trying to grasp not only the spirit of each artist, but the spirit of the culture that made it possible for these artists to thrive. We will be getting to know famous and not-so-famous artists and artworks. And we'll be trying to deeply answer the question: how would the new, great artworks have astonished and inspired you were you living during the Renaissance?
