Hidden Meaning: Symbolism & Allusion in Art
Facilitator: Nancy Baker
Have you looked at a painting and wondered what it was actually all about? How have artists made meaning or added to meaning using symbols that are often not clear to us? This course explores the history of symbolism, myth, metaphor and allusion in art from ancient times to the present. We’ll decode color and the use of flowers, fruits, animals, objects, religious and social iconography, and natural cycles to make deeper or specialized meaning. In the process you’ll learn a little of the history of western art.
