We are going GLOBAL!
​
ABX: ART BLOCKS eXpanded introduces the top 250 works of art selected by
The College Boards Advanced Placement Program® (AP®), representing GLOBAL artistic traditions. (Don’t worry. No tests!)
ART BLOCKS is diving deep into that list and creating “small bites” that are interesting, memorable, and conversational. The works are presented chronologically as they mirror the culture in which they were made.
Classes will be on Tuesday mornings, 10-12, in person at The Waldo Café, starting in September. They will be ongoing until we finish the list, pausing for holidays and travel.
Six classes are $150. 8 classes are $200. If you must miss a class, you can apply it towards a future class.
