Painting Analysis Workshops
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 will teach you all about understanding paintings.
The Start Art! Painting Analysis Workshops are designed to teach the basics of painting analysis for new beginners to art history. No background knowledge is needed, so you do not need to know more than a few household names like Leonardo da Vinci, Monet or Picasso. It is just your interest that matters to learn more. In the Workshops, we go through the characteristics of each period, learn how to read symbols. Seeing lots of paintings, analysing and discussing them, you will develop skills to identify paintings from each period and analyse their contents and styles.
All Workshops are composed of 6 to 8 lectures of two hours each and are conducted in English. The Classroom Workshops are only held in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Upcoming Workshops
