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 explores Vampires in Cultural History 🦇

Join us for this eerie Halloween month deep dive into one of the most famous creatures in folklore! For our annual foray into the morbid and macabre, we’ll be looking at the different ways vampires have been depicted in art history around the world. While we’ll inevitably take a look at some of the familiar creatures like Dracula and Nosferatu, we’ll also learn about the interesting variations of vampires that exist in other cultures, such as the Eastern European Vourdalak and Sasabonsam of Ghana.

Classes run October 7 & 14 from 6-8 pm. Registration covers both classes. All supplies included.
