We are quite a large group but we usually have space for 2 or 3 more members who would be made very welcome. The Group is structured in the same way as most other groups in the u3a in that the members will be asked to do some research on a subject and present their findings to the group.
Our emphasis as a whole is on Art of the 19/20/21st century. We include pottery, sculpture, photography, art installations as well as the more traditional painting.
At our last meeting we had presentations on Lord Leighton and Anish Kapoor, two very different artists and at our next meeting presentations will be about John Millais and Alphonse Mucha. Coming soon will be Banksy, Cartier Bresson, Grayson Perry etc. As you can see the range of subjects is diverse.
We recently had an outing to Kelmscott Manor and hopefully in the New Year we will visit a couple of more galleries.
We are all attending the Group because we like Art and want to learn more about it. You don’t have to be an expert, none of us are. All presentations are gratefully received and much appreciated. If there were no members contributing then there would be no group.
Please contact Shena for more information or to register your interest by phone or use the Group email link.
