Join Art with Liz every week at the library to learn about classic and contemporary artists, followed by a free art workshop. All materials are provided. This class is open to artists of any level, including beginners. All are welcome!
For our final class we will introduce students to Clara Peeters. Peeters was one of the very few female painters practicing actively in 17th-century Europe. While there is no evidence of her background, scholars believe the artist was a student of Osias Beert, a famous still-life artist from Antwerp. By 1612, Peeters was painting many realistic still lifes frequently featuring groupings of valuable objects, such as metal goblets, gold coins, and rare flowers, which she placed on narrow ledges. One of the artist’s most famous works is a still life with a fish and a cat. We will explore her ideas as a group and then make our own versions of still lifes with precious objects
This program will be held both in person and live on Zoom and YouTube.
