posted message: Hi All, As I'm a painter living in Australia I don't have access to large collections of Western Art, except via the internet. I've visited art museums in England, France, Spain and the Netherlands and looked at paintings but I don't have an academic background. My response to paintings as been emotional rather than educated. I'm intrigued by the idea of learning art history online and going on a virtual museum visit. I'm looking forward to working with the group, to develop the ability to think about and discuss art works.
