Course overview
Course description
Step into the vibrant, dreamlike world of Marc Chagall, one of the most imaginative and poetic artists of the 20th century. In this engaging two-hour session, we will explore how Chagall’s art blends fantasy, folklore, and personal memories, creating a distinctive visual language that captures the essence of love, longing, and spirituality. From his early works in Russia to his celebrated pieces in Paris, Chagall’s paintings transcend time and place, filled with floating figures, animals, and vivid colours. We’ll examine key themes in his work, including his Jewish heritage, village life, and his unique fusion of Cubism, Surrealism, and Symbolism. By analysing masterpieces like I and the Village and his celebrated stained-glass windows, you'll gain insight into how Chagall's art merges dreamlike imagery with deep emotional resonance. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or simply curious about the power of storytelling in painting, this session
will offer a rich exploration of Chagall’s whimsical yet profound works. Come away with a deeper understanding of how his colourful visions continue to inspire and captivate audiences today. No prior art experience required—just bring your imagination!
