LAST LIFETIME LEARNING LECTURE FOR 2016 SET

  

Washington County Lifetime Learning's last lecture for 2016 will feature Blinn teacher Doug Cason.

The lecture, titled “The Rise of the Ugly & the Breaking of the Renaissance Window”, will follow the rapid decline of the traditional modes of art making. The lecture will illuminate the reasoning behind Modern Art and how it related to the modern times that followed and why you should care.

Douglas Cason is a full time member of the Art Faculty at Blinn College in Brenham and teaches Art Appreciation, Art History, Painting and Drawing. He is originally from Ft. Worth but now lives in Brenham. He received his MFA in painting from the University of Houston in Houston, Texas and a BFA from the University of Texas at Austin. Cason’s work is included in various private and public collections including the Museum of Fine Arts Houston and has been shown in state, regional and national exhibitions at Avis Frank Gallery in Houston, Texas; Parlor Gallery in Asbury Park, New Jersey; Antebellum Gallery in Los Angeles, Cole Art Center in Nacogdoches, Texas.

The lecture will take place on December 9th from noon until 2 p.m. at the conference center at Blinn’s Brenham Campus. Tickets are $22 and can be purchased by visiting lifetimelearningbrenham.org.
