The Reach Gallery Museum offers the Golden Years Sessions from Feb. 4 to March 10.
This six-session introduction to Western art history takes participants from ancient Egypt to the Renaissance and the Impressionists, exploring all the highlights in between.
The program is designed to provide a foundation for anyone interested in the visual arts. Instructor is Sara Ellis, who holds a master of arts in art history from Queen’s University.
“Art serves as a visual record that tells us about the past and how people have understood the world around them during different moments in history,” Ellis said.
Though her own area of specialization is the Renaissance, this course provides an overview of all of the major periods and styles in Western art.
The program, which runs Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at The Reach (32388 Veterans Way), is open to the general public with no pre-requisites required.
Registration is required and closes on Jan. 22. For more information, visit The Reach, go online to thereach.ca or call 604-864-8087 (ext. 0).
