A different format this month. Several members when I first began the group asked for the first 2 sessions if there was ‘homework’ for the next session, based on their experience of the previous Art Appreciation group. Well, now there is. The discussion will be on your choice of American artwork, historic or contemporary, or you can even cite a particular artist with an example or a movement (eg pop art, abstract expressionism for example). You are invited to bring along a piece (or even two) you want to share with the group. This can be in any format: on an i-pad, photocopy, library or personal book, magazine, or even a print from home you have on your wall! For those feeling rather shy you don’t have to participate fully – it’s informal so no one has to go to the front to show their choice- a few words from your seat for others’ comments, information or discussion, as the piece is passed around, but sharing artists or works is the topic and format of the session.
