The South Shore Arts Art in Focus lecture series will continue to be hosted virtually via Zoom webinar on Monday, January 10, 2022, at 10am CT. Director of Education Natalie Heath will host and guide the lecture throughout, while discussing the relatively short, but plentiful history of children’s book illustration. Attendees will learn about the diverse and rich history of children’s literature and be encouraged to think about how cross-culturally stories for children pass from one generation to the next. Examples of current and vintage children’s books will be on display virtually and participants will be invited to talk about what books were important to them during their childhood and why.
Art in Focus is for adult learners who are interested in the Arts and its impact on our world, past, present, and future. An important aspect of the program is the thoughtful dialogue between program facilitator, guest speakers, and the attendees. Art in Focus is part of an on-going series of arts presentations that provide insight into the work of artists and the multitude of artistic forms that they express. Art in Focus is open to the public and thanks to generous support from Community Healthcare System, it is always free.
