The 3 courses will include “The Art of Adornment” (June 6), “Impressionism” (June 13) and “Relief Printmaking: A Japanese/German Comparison” (June 20). When you register for this series, you are registering to attend all 3 sessions in the series. See descriptions below:

The Art of Adornment Friday, June 6, 2025, 10 - 11 a.m. Students will explore ways in which various cultures throughout history have used adornment to establish personal and social identity. Body shaping, tattooing, piercing, scarification, cosmetic use and decorative arrangements of hair reflect diverse cultural values and also relate to issues of self-definition facing students today.

Impressionism Friday, June 13, 2025, 10 - 11 a.m. Learn about the works of Impressionist and Post- Impressionist painters such as Monet, Degas, van Gogh and Cézanne whose experiments with the effects of different conditions of light and paint application created a new way of seeing the world. The world these artists shared had much in common with our own era of rapid technological change and rise in standard of living. Students will consider how such factors influenced Impressionism.

Relief Printmaking: A Japanese/German Comparison Friday, June 20, 2025, 10 - 11 a.m. In this presentation on the history of relief printmaking participants examine the varied techniques and tools used by Western and Asian artists to create their works. Additional topics include the change in function of prints, from religious aids during the Middle Ages in Germany and elsewhere to the use of Japanese prints as part of popular tourist culture in the 19th century. We will compare origins of both printmaking traditions and learn about the sequence of Japanese woodblock printmaking.
