This six-week visual art appreciation course introduces students to the foundations of seeing, interpreting, and enjoying art across history and contemporary practice. Participants explore key themes such as identity, storytelling, materials, and cultural context while engaging with painting, sculpture, mixed media, and global traditions. Through guided discussion and close looking, learners build confidence, deepen visual literacy, and develop a richer understanding of how artists communicate meaning across time and place. This class offers exposure to a wide range of artistic traditions — including historic, contemporary, and Black art — so participants feel empowered, curious, and connected to the art they encounter in the world. Museum locations may include Woodmere Art Museum La Salle Art Museum, Herman Street Artists' Studios, Ubuntu Art Gallery, Church of the Annunciation,
