Art Appreciation: Caravaggio: Art and Man
Does a life inform one’s art? Does it follow that a passionate, violent nature will inevitably create dramatic, even dark, artworks? The life of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was full of drama and passion and it could be argued that his art mirrored his life. Although sometimes deeply disturbing, Caravaggio’s paintings demonstrate an understanding of realism and also of faith. This course will analyse both the art and the man, exploring these questions and getting closer to the meaning in Caravaggio’s works. There will be practical analysis of the works in question, resulting in a thorough examination of the artist’s oeuvre.

Art Appreciation: British Modern Art: from the Newlyn School to the Festival of Britain
In this course, we will focus on a century of artistic creation in Britain. From the artists in Cornwall to the war artists during the Second World War, we will study a varied mix of artists and art movements. We will proceed chronologically, but will keep in mind several transversal themes, especially that of the dialogue with artistic centres abroad, such as Paris and New York. Doing so, we will wonder whether modern British art followed a similar path as elsewhere or if some singular traits can be identified.
