We are delighted to announce details of our 2010 - 2011 talks given by our lecturer Barrie Garnham covering:
Art and Mythology
Classical mythology has provided rich subject matter for art from ancient times to the modern period. By virtue of their universal significance and appeal, myths have been told and re-told in art across time. The general structure of this course is chronological yet for this reason each lecture moves beyond the specific time frame of its title.
Classes are Thursday mornings from 10:30am to 1:30pm
All talks take place at : 22 Weiss Road SW15 1DH
Cost Per Term £175
Cost for 6 lectures £165
Cost for 5 lectures £150
Cost for 4 lectures £125
Cost for 1 lectures £39

Famous 20th Century Works of Art to be Taken Apart
A further exploration of well known works, this time focusing on the modern period. The course begins with a hyperactive and aggressive embodiment of the future in Boccioni’s iconic sculpture and concludes with Hirst’s confrontational image of the century’s end.
In between theses two cultural markers, themes of pleasure and horror paint a picture of a complex era.
