Richmond
Introduction to branch
WEA Richmond Branch will be offering 12 courses this year on a wide variety of subjects, from literature through to art and history, to philosophy and cosmology. For the first time in a long while we will be offering a language course – An Introduction to Latin. Courses are held in various parts of the area (which straddles the Thames). There are excellent train and bus links and good parking facilities. You don’t have to commit to any course before it starts; you can come to the first lecture for free and decide to enrol or not at the end of it.
The WEA is committed to promoting equality and diversity. All are Welcome.

Summer Courses
Looking at Art (Accredited-Open College Network)
In two parts: 15th April - 6th May and 3rd -24th June 1pm. - 4pm.
This course will explore twentieth century British art in the light of artistic Modernism. We will visit several major exhibitions in London, as well as examining the work in London galleries of outstanding British artists, including Paul Nash, Barbara Hepworh, Henry Moore, Francis Bacon, Bridget Riley, Richard Hamilton, Douglas Gordon and Rachel Whiteread. The course will consist of four classroom based sessions, each of which will prepare students for the subsequent exhibition/gallery visit. Tutor presentations will be mixed with group work and class discussions. Our initial visit will be to Van Doesburg and the International Avant-Garde at Tate Modern which will give us a context within which to view the British art.
As this is an accredited WEA course,with 30 credits available,students will be asked to complete a short written piece,which may take a variety of forms, according to student preference.
Venue: Vestry House, Paradise Road, Richmond
Tutor: Daphne Hunter
Cost:£88.50
