There are some videos on this site of the lectures Peter gave during last Advent so you can see how good they are. He's brilliant, really gives an insight into how art developed and the group is a lovely - and growing - community.
Peter himself is a practising artist and also heavily into music and drama. Some members are artists, art historians, have written books on art, are art teachers. Some like me are ignoramuses dying to learn.
The next series is three lectures, one on each of the next three Tuesdays. Sandwiches and tea/coffee are provided free.
Also, we'll visit the National Gallery on Friday 22 May. Peter treats us all to dinner after that visit so anyone who wants to go to that needs to let him know in advance.
Thanks to poor Art teaching at school, I believed for 40 years that I had no talent for visual art. But Peter's Lent lectures last year got me started because I didn't think it fair to pass comment on artists' work when I didn't know how easy or difficult it was to produce any kind of artwork. I now sketch and love my pencils so much that I haven't got into paint much yet. But I can see that I will because I'm already intrigued by ideas about light and colour.
How about you?
