Class Description

In this 8-week Live Class with Laura Sonnek, you will explore the major periods and movements that have defined Western art, from the classical elegance of antiquity to the innovative expressions of contemporary art. Each week, you’ll travel to a distinct era in art history, uncovering the evolution of artistic styles, techniques, and themes. Starting with the foundational art of Classical Antiquity, you’ll progress through the medieval intricacies of Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic styles into the humanistic splendor of the Renaissance. The live class will guide you through the dramatic narratives of Baroque and Rococo, the intellectual rigor of Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Realism, and the revolutionary approaches of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. The journey concludes with exploring the diverse and dynamic realms of Modern and Contemporary Art.
