The Cloverdale Arts Alliance invites you to attend the upcoming DISCOVERING ART series, titled "How to Appreciate Great Art". This program will teach you the specific visual and interpretive skills needed to approach great artworks, finding their deeper meanings and reaching new levels of appreciation. Participants will learn the core elements of the artists' visual language and apply this technical knowledge to major art works in major genres of drawing, printmaking, sculpture and painting from the major eras and movements in Western art, from the Renaissance to the present.
Classes will be held 7 pm to 8:30 pm every other Wednesdays, at the Cloverdale Arts Alliance new home (204 N. Cloverdale Boulevard, Cloverdale, CA). Each evening will feature two sessions via DVD presented by a prominent art historian, with a short informal discussion following each.
