Art as Protest online class set July 23, 30

For those who are more comfortable staying at home rather than taking a class in person, the Rehoboth Art League’s Art History: Art as Protest is worth pursuing.

Using the Zoom platform, Art as Protest will consist of two sessions, from 1 to 3 p.m., Thursdays, July 23 and 30. In the first session, participants will look at the anti-war work of Francisco Goya, “Guernica” by Pablo Picasso, and the work of the Dada movement protesting World War I.  The second class will consider other artists such as Diego Rivera, Judy Chicago, Keith Haring, Basquiat, and Vik Muniz, and the causes they championed. Artists do not live in a bubble. They are doing their work in response to the events going on around them. It is interesting to consider familiar artists in relationship to the events of their day, and perhaps find similarities to these troubled times.  There is no stress, no note taking, no tests – just come and discuss art. The class fee is $65 per person for members and nonmembers. 

Registration is required for all classes; go to www.rehobothartleague.org or call the art league at 302-227-8408, Ext. 112.
