Important Notes: All of my classes are inclusive. Classes are suitable for the neurodiverse child. CEFR: B1-B2 or above. In this one-time secular class, Learner will explore some of the major masterpieces that celebrate the spooky, not too scary, side of art history. The class starts with the traditions of Egyptian death masks, Aztec mosaic skulls, and covers among others the ghosts of Hokusai, skulls and skeletons by Van Gogh, Cezanne, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Picasso, Dali, and other slightly terrifying looking art from great master artists like Munch, Nolde, Schiele, Baselitz, and much more. Class will cover the different cultures, art styles and media. The class is structured with a vibrant and engaging slide presentation, exchanges, and Q&A session. Teaching style is kind and inclusive, emphasizing enthusiasm for world cultures, the arts as a reflection of our humanity, with fascinating learning & discovery of less known details. For a sense of community engagement, gauging Learner's interest level, and to be able to adjust accordingly, open mics and videos are required in class. Class size is kept small to allow for comments or questions. No previous experience is required. For further details, please refer to Parental Guidance below.
