Art Appreciation

The Art Appreciation Group aims to Improve our knowledge and enjoyment of art through examination and discussion works of art, different periods of art, movements, styles and individual artists.

The pandemic did not stop the the art Appreciation Group from exploring the work of a wide range of artists in regular monthly Zoom meetings. Face to face meetings have been resumed and two meetings were held at the Village Hall before Christmas. As well as looking at familiar subjects such as John Constable during the year, the group has recently been discovering artists less well known to us, particularly female artists like Mary Cassatt and Dame Lorna Knight.

No expertise or previous knowledge is required to join the group. Just an interest learning new things and developing a better understanding what you are seeing whenever you look at a painting on the wall of a National Trust Stately Home; or on a visit to a museum or gallery. We hope to put this to the test if we can arrange a gallery visit or two during 2022.

The group meet every 2nd Thursday of the month Meetings take place in the Games Room in the Village Hall from 10 am to 12.

Details of each meetings subject will be detailed in the events calendar for the group.
