The Beginnings of Modern Art
This is a course on the incredibly beautiful and ground breaking art of the Post-Impressionist artists. We will see the theories behind the Pointillism of Seurat, the Structure studies by Cezanne, the Color Field compositions of Gaugin, and the vibrant and beautiful Expressionism of van Gogh. In short, the Foundations of Modern Art. I have enjoyed every minute teaching this course for over forty years and I absolutely loved putting this course together for you. The objective is for you to be able to look out your window and see the same scene with the eyes of Seurat, Cezanne, Gaugin or van Gogh. It will expand your visual delight universe.

This course is designed under the premise that humans should be taught in a way that is modeled after the educational patterns of evolution.
The design, development and application of educational systems based on the educational principles of evolution generates a philosophy and methodology of education in synchrony with the evolutionary education system that is firmly and deeply rooted in each of us.
Education for evolution is an educational system designed to help propel humans forward in the natural course of evolution. The purpose of education for evolution is to enhance and strengthen the natural evolutionary process of humans through the mechanism of education. The means to achieve this objective is the design of a curricula based on the same educational techniques and strategies used by natural evolution, enhanced and guided by the application of conscious educational decisions.

Good and easy to understand
Dr Van Borstel tells a story with every painting - he is a master
The music at the background was very distracting and did not even match the content. Many of the captions were not legible being white against light colors. The author's diction did not seem to add much knowledge and the ending just seemed like he was trying to push his own personal opinions. I would not recommend this course
I'm not sure yet. I think a little more instruction on how to apply the technique of impressionism was what I was expecting.
Awesome class!
Very informative.
The course was great, inciteful and loved being able to learn about these artists. I don't think the course would be worth it if I had paid the original asking amount. Glad I got it at 16.99 or so.
Yes, it is a good match. I have taken much art history and art but this reinforces what I know, but even more; more indepthly.
Wonderful!

I always wanted to know about pointillism, especially how you pointed out that it just meant that he painted his brush stroke as dots on the canvas.
