Discover life in the New World through the eyes of the artist. Life in the New World was precarious and the early settlers found that survival and subsistence took precedence over artistic achievement. But as urban centers began to grow, their newly prosperous inhabitants developed a taste for the arts. Portraiture was the main subject for American art during the colonial period. The affluent inhabitants of urban areas considered portraiture a tasteful display of one’s elite status. You will learn about some of the American Colonial artists and what inspired their art. Class meets every Tuesday between June 5 and June 26.
