All About Hair in Art
Men and women with (or without) hair have been celebrated for their tresses in art history, revealing insight into their identity. I will share our society's fascination with hair.

Numbers + Magic in Art
Numerology is associated with the mystical and divine. Some artists admit to being guided by outside forces. What's in a number? Is it random or a conscious decision? I will explain.

In Art - That Which Divides Us
As a sensitive political talking point, the obvious is that borders, walls, and gates keep some people inside and some out. I will discuss how they are used in the context of art, which has no boundaries.

Look Up - Ceiling Paintings in Art
It is probably human nature to look forward, not up. Pity. Illusionistic fresco paintings are a wonder to behold. From ancient rock art, to churches, public buildings, and private residences, I will discuss why.

Hands in Art
We often see the hand of God in Christian art, as well as in Buddhism. I will discuss the significance of gesturing with the left or right hand, as well as non-religious usage.

The Apocalypse in Art
The final destruction of the world has been represented in many works of art. Considering the current unsettling world affairs, I think it important to experience catharsis by sharing the frustration and pain of these artists.

Humans have sculpted the 'ideal' figure since ancient Greece. I will discuss those artists who continued in the same vein and how its universal theme continues even in modern times.

More Text in Art
From calligraphy to repurposed newspapers to graffiti and much more self expression by artists, I will discuss the works most impressionable.
