Program Description

Event Details

Join us for a Learn & Lunch for adults! *Lunch is only available for in-person registrants. 

You can still watch the presentation from home! Lunch will be served following a presentation by art educator and historian Mallory Mortillaro. Mallory will join us virtually from her home in New Jersey. 

Have you ever looked at a painting and wished you could understand it more? This lecture serves as a guide to basic visual analysis. We will review some of the more common symbols and tropes seen in Western painting. This lecture provides examples and practice in visual and contextual analysis while examining a variety of artworks. 

Join us in unpacking these paintings, improving our visual literacy, and increasing our appreciation of art!
