Art Appreciation: How to Interpret Paintings
Have you ever wondered what a painting means, and how to figure out what it is about? This session will give you some keys to develop your understanding and appreciation of paintings. We will mainly focus on interpretative skills: how do we identify the type of subject matter? How do we recognise and decipher symbols? Where can we find clues? And, can we rely on our subjective interpretation? This is quite literally an “eye-opener”, and should make your next visits to art galleries even more enjoyable!

From medieval illuminations and Bruegel’s lively 16th-century village scenes to Monet’s serene snowscapes, winter has many inspired painters. In their works they evoke the season’s unique mood and atmosphere. This session will examine iconic winter-themed works, delving into how artists convey the season's chilly textures and muted colours, but also its reflective qualities.

Humanities: Christmas food around the world
Here in England we traditionally eat roast turkey for Christmas dinner, but what do other countries do? Is it fun? Is it a tradition you might like to borrow? Some of them do the main celebration on Christmas Eve, or on other dates, so you can do multiple Christmas traditional meals! Some of these have come to common attention when groups of immigrants bring their customs from home, some haven’t, but variety is the spice of life, either way. (Yes, curry is an option.)
