Meets: Monthly on Thursday mornings 10:30 am-1:30 pm 4th Thursday
Where: St Matthew's Parish Centre, Northampton, Northampton
The group discusses different types of art and the meaning of art, and since no two people have the same opinion about what art is or should mean, the discussions can be lively. Members have taken a chronological look at art history, beginning with early painters such as Giotto and working forward to the twentieth century, and have covered the pre-Raphaelites, the Impressionists, twentieth century war artists, the Russian Revolution and American art. Topics are chosen by ballot, with everyone putting an idea in the hat and the group voting on the suggestions. It meets on the fourth Thursday of the month from 10.30am until 1.30pm at St Matthew's Parish Centre in Northampton.
- Newcomers No previous experience of art history is necessary. An opinion is always helpful.
Part of Northampton u3a. Joining is through membership.
