REHOBOTH BEACH, DE – If you are still more comfortable staying at home rather than taking a class in person, the Rehoboth Art League’s “Art History: Art as Protest” is for you!
Using the Zoom platform, “Art as Protest” will consist of two, two-hour sessions on Thursdays, July 23 and 30 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. In the first session, participants will look at the anti-war work of Francisco Goya, Guernica by Pablo Picasso, and the work of the Dada movement protesting WWI. The second class will consider other artists, such as Diego River, Judy Chicago, Keith Haring, Basquiat, and Vik Muniz, and the causes they championed. Artists do not live in a bubble. They, like all of us, are doing their work in response to the events going on around them. It is interesting to consider familiar artists in relationship to the events of their day, and perhaps find similarities to our own troubled time. There is no stress, no note taking, no tests – just come and discuss art. The cost for the class is $65 per person for members and non-members.
Registration is required for all classes. To register go to www.rehobothartleague.org or call the Art League’s Education Programs Director at 302-227-8408 ext. 112.
