Simultaneously delightful and scholarly--this is a must have for anyone interested in art history.

  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.
  • The Impressionists
    The Impressionists

In this program, we’ll examine the special contributions made by a handful of artists who became movers and shakers in the art world—particularly in the realm of Modern Art. Each of these individuals had a burning desire to make the art of the present and future different from the art of the past. They each had a unique vision, and they all heavily contributed to changing the face of art forever. Artists we look at during this session will include: Monet, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse, and Picasso. (5 weeks – 2 hours per session)

    Each of these people had a blazing longing to make the craft of the present and future not the same as the specialty of the past. They each had a one of a kind vision, and they all intensely added to changing the substance of workmanship for eternity.
