Subject: Fall Docent Training Schedule
Something funny is going on with Carri’s email, but here is the fall schedule that she has been trying to email you…
Please let me know if you have any questions. You will see that some of the exhibitions have very limited training so it is essential that you try to attend what is offered.
I hope you enjoying your summer and I look forward to seeing you very soon!

The Head and the Heart: Neoclassicism and Romanticism
Tuesday, October 2nd, 6pm
Befitting the "Age of Enlightenment" artists such as Jacques Louis David and Jean August Ingres sought to reform the visual arts by creating a "correct" style of universal validity in the mid to late eighteenth century. In contrast, artists such as Delacroix and Turner emphasized emotion and imagination over rationality and the subconscious over the conscious.
Tell it Like it is...Maybe: Realism in the 19th Century
Tuesday, October 10th, 6pm
Realism did not represent a slavish imitation of nature but rather, a democratic – even socialist art movement lead by artists such as Courbet, Millet, Eakin’s and Homer who sought to sincerely deal with subjects previously dismissed as artistically insignificant by the academy.
A Delight in Light: Impressionism
Tuesday, October 17th, 6pm
Originally misunderstood and highly criticized by the art establishment, Impressionist artists Monet, Renoir, Degas, Pissaro and other French artists of the late 19th century brought a new sense of immediacy to painting by capturing the fleeting moment.
A Return to Conceptual Painting: Post Impressionism
Tuesday, October 24th, 6pm
Born of Impressionism’s formal breakthroughs in art, especially in the area of color, artists Cezanne and Seurat originated their own variants on color, light and atmosphere.
Symbolism as Expression: Paul Gauguin
Tuesday, October 31st, 6pm
Searching for the purity of feeling and spirituality, artist Paul Gauguin was a willful and independent seeker of intuitive sensations and imaginative fantasies creating invented figures and forms, and abstracted use of color and line and composition to convey mysterious mood.
Art as Autobiography: Vincent Van Gogh
Tuesday, November 7th, 6pm
The emotionally and personally expressive paintings of Vincent Van Gogh burst the traditional bounds of naturalism, impressionism, and rationality to such extent that it was noted by some at the time, that “the Dutchman painted like a mad man.”
