SUMMARY:Virtual Explore Art with Jano
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 3rd from 2:00 – 3:00 P.M on Zoom  \nSign up for another insightful Explore Art with Jano\, a virtual art appreciation program. We continue our series “Focus on Nature” with a session on gardens. Spaces for contemplation and relaxation gardens have been turned into luscious landscapes or intriguing vistas since time immemorial. \nJoin us with your curiosity and come ready to share thoughts and ideas. We will focus on a variety of gardens to pause and ponder at how artists have rendered these typically green spaces that offer us respite from our everyday routines. \nJano Cortijo is an arts educator whose work finds him engaging audiences of various ages\, abilities\, and backgrounds in museums\, classrooms\, community centres\, and online. Straying far from the canon to elevate artists and works that have been excluded or erased from mainstream conversations\, Cortijo encourages critical discussion while connecting the participants’ individual histories and stories with the art and art makers. \nImage caption: \nPierre Bonnard\, The Orchard\, 1899\nLithograph\, 13 x 14 inches

SUMMARY:Virtual Explore Art with Jano
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, June 16th from 2:00 – 3:00 P.M on Zoom  \nJoin us for another insightful Explore Art with Jano\, a virtual art appreciation program. This session we will focus on nature\, specifically trees. Sturdy and protective\, trees provide us with shelter\, oxygen and they have also served as inspiration for the visual and literary arts. \nJoin us with your curiosity and come ready to share thoughts and ideas. We will look at tall and trim\, stout and leafy trees depicted in distinct styles throughout recent history. \nJano Cortijo is an arts educator whose work finds him engaging audiences of various ages\, abilities\, and backgrounds in museums\, classrooms\, community centers\, and online. Straying far from the canon to elevate artists and works that have been excluded or erased from mainstream conversations\, Cortijo encourages critical discussion while connecting the participants’ individual histories and stories with the art and art makers. \nImage caption:\nOscar Bluemner\, House and Tree\, 1917\nOil on composition board\, 15 x 20 inches
