Online Classes with The Wandering Art Historian

Posted on by The Wandering Art Historian

I think we can all agree that 2020 was not a “normal” year by any means. We collectively discovered that we needed to reexamine the way in which we do everything. Plus, some of the things we came to rely on went away or were postponed indefinitely.

Personally, I wasn’t sure how this year would turn out. When COVID-19 hit and we could no longer meet in person, things looked bad. When the Rollins Center for Lifelong Learning (affectionately known as the STARS program) at Rollins College was discontinued, things looked even worse.

Honestly, there was a brief moment in which a big, BIG question loomed over me…

Could I keep the online classes going by myself?

That question was followed by another, even more harrowing question…

If I offered online classes… would anyone show up???

But YOU came through! You were willing to Zoom through art history with me and what amazing adventures we have had! THANK YOU for meeting with me twice a week, every week since July, to talk about ART.

From the bottom of my heart… THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

I am in the midst of researching, writing and producing new lectures, a new four-week class and new book club discussions for 2021. I cannot wait for you to join me on the next great art historical adventure!

  1. Hi, I started classes with you last year at Rollins. Those classes were interrupted by COVID. I would like to take an online class. How do I enroll? Thank you! Pattii Waldo

I am writer and artist with a degree in art history who loves to talk to people about art. I have spent the last seven years building up The Wandering Art Historian “brand” as a way to connect with people who want to learn more about art. I give lectures and presentations and teach classes and host book club discussions with a creative or artistic connection. I also write about local artists, events, museums, and exhibitions to promote the arts in Central Florida. In 2021, I had a creative crisis. I struggled with authenticity in the art making process. I decided to make myself vulnerable and find out what a real, genuine Adrienne H. Lee artwork would look like. The process was challenging and emotional and revelatory. I learned that if necessity is the mother of invention, then authenticity is the mother of reinvention. I reinvented myself and learned an entirely new medium. The resulting artwork surprised me, and it will surprise you, too. Some people wish for a fairytale ending. For me, the fairy tale is only the beginning.
