Cool Summer Art Classes

CCAD has opened registration for summer classes…along with the usual figure drawing and painting fare, this one really caught my eye:

Heists and Forgery: Art History
This course is a comprehensive history of stolen and forged art; who does it, why, and how. We will examine famous cases of museum heists, and explore the debate of institutionalized theft; one country, government, regime, or institution stealing from another. Offering an insight into the controversial reality of the art industry, this course will examine the often hidden side of private and public collections. Students will explore processes professionals use to determine whether an art object is real or fake. This course will include lecture, discussion, interactive activities and extended time at the Columbus Museum of Art.

Theft and intrigue, taught by our very own Brian Williams!
