Art Appreciation Workshop:
Everything you need to know about Art in 45 min, from the Renaissance to contemporary Art.

How would you comment about a sculpture by Michelangelo or a painting by Leonardo da Vinci? Can an amateur like you appreciate art and tell others more about it? Let us take your hand back to the good old renaissance days and walk you through to present to understand what makes a good painting.

Exemplified by real paintings, you will surely enjoy this fun, informal and interactive workshop that gives you answers to the following and more!

When is it art and not pornography?
What is considered a good or bad painting?
Is a work considered abstract just because I can’t understand it?

Date: 7th Apr 2006 (Friday)
Time: 7.15pm to 8pm (Linger on with your new found friends to find out where you can explore more on art over coffee and snacks)
Venue: Alcyon Creations
Price: Usual $12, S$10 wow-her members (refreshments included)

The next time you walk pass an art exhibition or a museum, flaunt that little knowledge you’ve gained in this session and you can be sure to impress your partner.
