Art & Artists: From All Over The Globe

$185

with Jennifer Linskey

Iceland, China, Japan, Canada…we’re moving through time and across what may be unfamiliar terrain as we discover some new artists. It will follow the same format as previous art and artist classes in terms of part art history, part art studio. There may be times where we look at not one artist that week, but a particular idea or way of making art indigenous, or very central to, that area of the world. *No Class: 2/18.
