Inside the Painter's Studio: Paul Cézanne and Giorgio Morandi
Adult | Available
In this class, we will step into the painter's studio, exploring it as a site of historical significance and a workshop for contemporary creation. We will specifically explore how Giorgio Morandi and Paul Cézanne created their paintings and how the places and ideas around them influenced their work. Together, we’ll look at Morandi’s "Untitled" (1955) and Cézanne’s "Still Life with Water Jug" (c. 1892-3) to understand how they approached still life painting. We’ll explore what made these artists’ works stand out by studying their techniques and processes.
In the studio, you’ll have a chance to respond to these pieces by experimenting with your own creative methods. You will connect your art with historical works and develop your personal painterly processes. No prior experience with art history is needed—just bring your creativity and curiosity!
