It shouldn’t be surprising that art has both a mental and physical effect on the human being. Do you recall the craze for adult coloring books? Research has shown that making art, even just coloring or drawing, can reduce blood pressure, boost the immune system, and reduce stress. It also improves our concentration and memory. Even just looking at beautiful works of art and being around it appears to have a positive effect on the brain and a person’s health. How do you feel after looking at Fred’s painting of a local farmstand? Fred Mendelsohn is a modern-day Renaissance man — neurologist, philanthropist, author, musician and artist. In this lecture, Fred will discuss how art affects the brain starting from early development.

This continuation of Randall's previous lecture, Linear Perspective: A Renaissance Revolution in Art & Science, dives into three of the best known Renaissance artists: Leonardo da Vinci (The Last Supper), Michelangelo (The Sistine Chapel), and Raphael (The School of Athens).
Leonardo Da Vinci declared linear perspective "art's most essential science." The revival of perspective not only influenced the way art was created, but it also forever altered humanity's view of their place in the universe.
Join artist and historian Randall DiGiuseppe on a journey through history exploring the origins of linear perspective from the early Renaissance and its long-lasting influences on the modern world.
Titanium, zinc, lead, flake, cremnitz and silver? All these pigments are white, but what makes them each different? Whether a beginner or advanced student of painting, many questions arise as you study the pigments (colors) of painting.
Painter and teacher, Eric Santoli will be your guide as we discuss the world of pigments from white through the rainbow to black.
When you are about to paint from a photo or when you are doing Plein Air painting, do you ask yourself “what is the best view”? Outdoors, nature gives so many views or a photo has so much to offer. What is the best view?
Antonio Masi will discuss and demonstrate a method he has used very successfully, that helps answer this basic question. Antonio Masi is a world-class and award-winning artist often honored for his depictions of bridges.
