Seven Ways of Thinking About Art

This seven-week course explores the philosophical basis of our attempts to understand works of art.

Topics covered include : the question of whether works of art are simply catalysts to purely subjective responses, the relevance of an artist's intentions, a work's historical context, its originality, and its context within the gallery.

Participants have the opportunity to explore a range of positions from a theoretical perspective and to test their application against particular works of art in the gallery.
