This immersive four-week class offers a deep dive into the world of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of 19th-century artists who rejected academic conventions in favor of vibrant color, precise detail, and poetic storytelling.
Students will explore the movement’s historical roots, aesthetic ideals, and influential figures such as John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Elizabeth Siddal., and John William Waterhouse. Each week combines art history discussions with focused studio practice, culminating in the completion of a painted mastercopy of a Pre-Raphaelite work.
This class aims to give students insight into the techniques, symbolism, and visual language that defined the movement—while building their own skills in composition, color mixing, and narrative painting.
