The group aims to discuss art from any, and all media, and from all periods. Topics covered to date include Picasso; the Pre-Raphaelites; portraits; pictures of babies; Vincent van Gogh; summertime art; fraud in art; and Pompeian art. 

We aim to be participative, thus meetings so far have included both presentations and discussions.

Topics are chosen by the group and all offers to lead on a subject are gratefully received.

All meetings are open to all u3a members
