It will be looking at Modern Art in a fresh way covering developements, theories, concepts and myths from a variety of perspectives. The course is led by Mat Gregory and Jane Morrow. Each week will have a themed illustrated powerpoint and after related workshops, exploring the Tate Liverpool's new collection The DLA Piper Series : This is Sculpture.
Rather than looking at modern art in a chronological way we will be looking at it in a more thematic way. We will be looking at techniques, materials and also the wider social and cultural contexts in which these works have been created and received.
I am really going to benefit from going to this course at the Tate on Tuesdays. I will get to explore artworks, theories and writings that shaped modern art. I will also be discussing and debating my ideas and experiences which I find hard to do, I hope this will give me some practice. I will be learning about social, political, economic and cultural factors that has shaped art history and investigating this will benefit my work because I usually base my work on personal issues but I want to start working with these sorts of issues. I will also be able to have the gallery space in a private viewings each week which will give me the chance to look at pieces of work in an analytical and theoretical perspective.
