Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center Presents
Art History In Action: A Creative Approach to Art History
A HYBRID Art Class Series with THOMASIN DEWHURST

This course, for students ages 5 to 18, introduces some of the major periods in ART HISTORY, and a variety of ideas and practices in Western and Non-Western arts and architecture. Students develop an understanding of art history through analyzing works of art and placing them in historical context. Students also explore how different cultures, theories, materials, processes, techniques and audience make an impact on the growth of art-historical movements.

OVERVIEW
Taught by professional artist and art educator, Thomasin Dewhurst (M.A.F.A.), the nine-month course will cover a new topic every three or four weeks. With each new topic, there will be one art history lesson, followed by two to three lab-style classes where students create their own art based on the particular art history topic.

The course will be an online course, with possible in-person art-making camps and field trips (dependent on health and safety protocols). Classes will be divided by age as necessary. Online classes will be held via Zoom.
