Very interesting and complete -a great window into several art galleries (especially now, during the context of COVID-19!), styles, personalities and iconic works of art.
Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege to be a part of this learning experience. I t's the first thing I do, while having my morning tea.
Absolutely loved this course. It fed my soul to be guided through so many wonderful works of art.
