The handout Michael porvided for this first session of the year began, 'A thing of beauty is a joy for ever, Keats, 'Endymion' (1818). We were asked to question what is conventionally regarded as beautiful and how canons of beauty can change with each generation. A collection of postcards demonstrated images that might be considered beautiful, which included the use of simple items as subject matter, by artists such as Braque and Morandi. We were then asked to select an item oursleves that could be used to express an idea of beauty or challenge the notion of beauty.
If you were not at the session last Monday, you should have received copies of the handouts. Below are the dates and titles of the sessions for Michael's first half term. Hope to see you on Monday evening!
