Art Appreciation is the understanding of the timeless qualities that characterise all great art. So too is philosophy concerned with universality and truth.

What is your relationship to art? Why is art meaningful to you?

This group explores the great world of art, aesthetic experience, and its relation to philosophy.  We will be looking at all types of media from painting to music, poetry and film.

    "I am a passionate theatre person. I have most recently begun to explore the more theoretical side of theatre and would like to not only exchange ideas about the theories I have found, but also gain knowledge to help the growth of my own theory."
