Male Figure-Art History
The Arts | Registration opens 1/5/2026 12:00 AM MST (Arizona)
Throughout the history of art, artists have depicted the male figure in a variety of ways: abstract and realistic, angular and organic, draped and nude, specific and general. We will cover the long line of art styles and you will discover changing depictions of the male figure. We will discuss how a society’s values are reflected in these portrayals and how
there are connections with previous art styles. We will start with some ‘fun facts’, a dip into style and culture and then begin with the Paleolithic era and continue until we run out of time.
