Art History at VISA
Two great art history courses to check out
Baroque to Realism 1600-1850 Saturdays, Sep 14-Dec 15 10am-1pm Textbook: Impressionism to Early Modernism 1850-1915 Thursdays, Sept 12-Dec 12 Textbook:
We are very excited to welcome new instructor Catherine Nutting to VISA. Catherine Nutting is an Art Historian whose interests range from Early Modern interculturalism to philosophy, theory, and contextual historicism. She teaches World Arts, Popular Culture, Modern Art, Renaissance, Baroque, Enlightenment, and other Fine Arts courses and has published in, for example Dutch Crossings and Studies in the Literary Imagination. Her master's thesis showed connections among pacifism, philosophy, and symbolic art; and she is currently researching the 17th-century artist Rubens. She gives workshops and publishes on pedagogy, and is committed to respectful teaching/learning. Her artistic practice includes acrylic and watercolour painting, paper collage, and word/image explorations.
Both these courses use excellent affordable textbooks (just published this year) that are well-written, comprehensive and filled with quality reproductions (see links above).
