Would you like your next museum visit to be more interesting?
Do you occasionally go to art museums and enjoy looking at paintings, but you cannot understand what they really mean?
Would you like to learn more about reading paintings, differentiating styles from each other and make the most of a museum trip?
Then, you are at the right place! Start Art! Painting Analysis Workshops are designed to teach you all about understanding paintings.
The Start Art! Painting Analysis Workshops are designed for new beginners to art history. So, you do not need to know more than a few household names like Leonardo da Vinci or Picasso… It is just your interest that matters to learn more.
In the Workshops we go through the characteristics of each period or movement, and then see lots of paintings, discuss and analyse them. Analysing paintings has a certain pattern and with simple methods you can easily expand your knowledge on paintings. Start Art! Workshops focus on such simple methods and will teach you the characteristics, symbols, artists and famous paintings of different periods. All Workshops are conducted in Gothenburg and are in English.
