January 18 – Art appreciation: Visions Of Eden גן עדן

Join Michele Marram as we explore some of the many portrayals of The Garden of Eden as seen through the eyes of various artists. We’ll take a look at interpretations through a myriad of time periods, regions, and forms. Bring some paper and crayons or color pencils if you’d like to create your own version of Paradise at the end of the program.

February 8 – Norman Rockwell

Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) was an American painter and illustrator, most recognized for his covers of the Saturday Evening Post. His paintings and illustrations capture our attention with their relatability, humor and details. Take a step back in American history to learn more about Rockwell, his artwork, and his Massachusetts connections.

Carolyn Melbye has a BFA with a concentration in ceramics. After college she worked in the art collections field. A few years later, she became aware of the power of art to heal, and pursued her MA in expressive arts therapies. She counsels primarily adults and older adults, creates artwork for self-expression, and presents on art history. Carolyn is passionate about sharing her interests in looking at art, and exploring how it can more deeply connect us to our past, to others, and ourselves.
