SUMMARY:VIRTUAL African American Art and Artists Discussion with Chichi
DESCRIPTION:Explore the work of well known and lesser known African American artists and their predecessors with Chichi Lovett.  As we take time to ‘read’ a piece of art from an artist’s perspective works of art created by African American artists are the visual stimuli used to examine assumptions and to initiate and welcome conversations regarding issues that are often difficult to discuss.  These issues can concern race\, class\, culture\, the art market and womanism/feminism (among other issues).  We take the time to look at the art presented and consider what it represents to you\, the viewer and why. Learn about the context of the art and artists in their own time and in ours.  Art pieces discussed in this class will be different from those discussed in the previous classes that Chichi has offered during past sessions. There are no prerequisites for this class. \nAttend with an open and curious mind and a gentle heart.  All are most welcome. \nGarnetta ‘Chichi’ Lovett is a native Brooklynite\, visual artist (BFA)\, retired professor (Auburn University) and community arts advocate and organizer. She currently lives in Washington DC. \nHow to Join This Virtual Class:\n\n1. Create an Account (if you don’t have one yet)\n2.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL African American Art and Artists Discussion with Chichi
DESCRIPTION:Explore the work of well known and lesser known African American artists and their predecessors with Chichi Lovett.  As we take time to ‘read’ a piece of art from an artist’s perspective works of art created by African American artists are the visual stimuli used to examine assumptions and to initiate and welcome conversations regarding issues that are often difficult to discuss.  These issues can concern race\, class\, culture\, the art market and womanism/feminism (among other issues).  We take the time to look at the art presented and consider what it represents to you\, the viewer and why. Learn about the context of the art and artists in their own time and in ours.  Art pieces discussed in this class will be different from those discussed in the previous classes that Chichi has offered during past sessions.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL African American Art and Artists Discussion with Chichi
DESCRIPTION:Explore the work of well known and lesser known African American artists and their predecessors with Chichi Lovett.  As we take time to ‘read’ a piece of art from an artist’s perspective works of art created by African American artists are the visual stimuli used to examine assumptions and to initiate and welcome conversations regarding issues that are often difficult to discuss.  These issues can concern race\, class\, culture\, the art market and womanism/feminism (among other issues).  We take the time to look at the art presented and consider what it represents to you\, the viewer and why. Learn about the context of the art and artists in their own time and in ours.  Art pieces discussed in this class will be different from those discussed in the previous classes that Chichi has offered during past sessions. There are no prerequisites for this class. \nAttend with an open and curious mind and a gentle heart.  All are most welcome. \nGarnetta ‘Chichi’ Lovett is a native Brooklynite\, visual artist (BFA)\, retired professor (Auburn University) and community arts advocate and organizer.
