How To Read a Work of Art

Whether it's abstract, non- objective or realistic, all works of art have hidden and alternative meanings. Quite often the average person with no education in art, gets frustrated with a work of art that they just don't 'get.' They can even begin to dislike all 'modern' or contemporary art because the artist's intention is not clear. This course will train your eyes and brain to search for and find answers when they are not completely clear. We will start with basic and familiar works that are easy to understand by understanding the deeper meaning behind them. Once the student becomes comfortable interpreting realism, we shall move on the the more abstract works.
