This four-week course is an in-depth introduction to the key works and iconic figures of contemporary art, from its origins in the 1970s and moving both thematically and chronologically to the present. We will explore an array of renowned and provocative artists, as well as younger artists emerging onto the art scene today. This course follows the successful lecture series of the same title presented by Lacy Davisson Doyle previously at the Four Arts. The course will provide a foundation for looking at and understanding contemporary art in all contexts and venues.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday
March 16, 18, and 20

This is the art history class you dreamed about! Lacy Davisson Doyle and Liz Ghitta Segall team up to bring you a combined art history and studio art course that will focus on Pablo Picasso and other artists in Paris experimenting with Cubism in the 1910s through the 1920s. Cubism is considered the first and the most influential of all movements in 20th century art. In Cubist work, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form, instead of presenting objects from one viewpoint; the artist shows a multitude of viewpoints to represent the object in a greater context.

“…the goal I proposed myself in making cubism? To paint and nothing more…with a method linked only to my thought…Neither the good nor the true; neither the useful nor the useless…It took me four years to learn to paint like Raphael and a lifetime to paint like a child…”

Learn to view your environment differently. Unleash and reconnect with your creativity by creating two canvases in the Cubist style with Ms. Segall. The morning will be spent learning about the history of Cubism, and the afternoon will be hands-on learning how to truly see objects, breaking them down into shapes and putting them on canvas in an abstract manner. A full palette of paints, canvas, and brushes will be provided.

Due to limited space, reservations are required for all Campus on the Lake workshops and classes. For more information please call (561) 805-8562 or emailcampus@fourarts.org.
