Making Art History is a 2-part micro-art and history class. The first class starts with a brief lesson on art movements or artists in history (as well as contemporary artists). The second class will occur the following week, and we’ll focus on completing our projects while enjoying a lively discussion about the themes and techniques we’ve been exploring!
This month’s Making Art History presents Ukiyo-e – Woodcut Printmaking in Edo Era Japan
From the 1600s to the 1800s, known as the Edo period, Japan experienced an era of blossoming arts and culture. Perhaps most famously, artists such as the illustrious Katsushika Hokusai and others made stunning woodblock prints which captured the beauty of Japan’s stories, landscapes, and people. We will trace the historical timeline of the Edo period through these prints, known as ukiyo-e.
Classes run April 1 & 8, from 6-8 pm. Registration covers both classes. All supplies included.
