Some of our best loved paintings are landscapes - the idyllic country scenes of Constable, the atmospheric creations of Turner and the delightful Dutch and Flemish canals and windmills. This talk will trace the development of landscape art from early Northern Renaissance backgrounds via picturesque and Impressionist interpretations to recent landscape artists such as Peter Lanyon.
Views: 14 | Enquiries: 0I am an experienced speaker and my audiences have included WEA, U3A, Swan Hellenic Cruise ships, Cathedrals and Churches and various Universities and Colleges. Using extensive illustration, I present in a lively inter-active style and encourage questions and debate. I have Masters degrees in Art History, Theology and Philosophy, and particularly enjoy connecting the three disciplines. But I'm not dry and academic - i use humour, anecdote and debate in my teaching methods. I am a regular tutor for WEA both online and in person, and teach a number of Art History courses and always recruit well, with lots of students who have done multiple courses with me. I can tailor presentations to many different lengths and contexts.
