    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.

Magic, Myth and Monsters

DateMonday, February 21, 2022 at 9:00AM

Mosaic of Jesus Christ in Istanbul, Turkey (click photo for larger image)Medieval art includes a wide variety of art and architecture. It belongs to the period known as the Middle Ages, which roughly spanned from the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 CE to the early stages of the Renaissance in the 14th century.

Work produced during this era grew out of the artistic heritage of the Roman Empire and the iconographic style of the early Christian church, but those approaches were also fused with the “barbarian” cultures of Northern Europe.

What resulted was a diverse range of artistic styles and periods, some of which include the early Christian and Byzantine, Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Romanesque, and Gothic.

To learn more about the art produced during this 1000 year long civilization, REGISTER NOW for Dr. Jill’s six-week online course, “Magic, Myth and Monsters” presented by the Bethany Arts Community. 

In addition to exploring the remarkable artwork produced during the ten centuries of the Middle Ages, we will also examine the ways in which medieval art profoundly influenced the modern art of the 20th century and beyond.

Don’t Miss this exciting course!
