What will this course cover?
You’ll look at a range of artworks that feature weather as a key theme. We’ll explore how different artists and movements have represented wind, rain, sunlight, snow and more. You’ll also consider how weather has been used to reflect emotion, symbolise change, or highlight the beauty of nature.
What will I get out of this course?
You’ll gain new skills in observing and interpreting art, along with a deeper appreciation for how weather shapes artistic expression. You’ll leave feeling more confident talking about art, and with a fresh perspective.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills or experience?
No previous experience is necessary - just a lively, open-minded interest in art as well as the social, cultural, political and historical context in which these works were produced.
