Hi, I'm Kristine.

I love to teach about art and art history. I love to help people discover this immense treasure, show them that art history is both exciting and fun, and that it may bring never-ending inspiration to our own lives. 

I remember how it was to visit museums and galleries and not being able to enjoy what I was seeing, because I didn't know where to start. I was disappointed in myself. Disappointed, because something in me knew what was in front of me was great, but I couldn't see it.

Art history studies, living for many years in Paris, frequent travels to other cities and countries have not only given me knowledge which has opened the world of art to me, but has also given me a deep desire to share this with others. 

For years, I have been teaching on stage, while traveling, and in my online classrooms. It's wonderful to see how online teaching has made these treasures available across all kinds of boundaries. We can talk with each other, learn from each other, and we grow as human beings.

You will learn: 

• The course contains 6 modules of pre-recorded lectures, so that you can watch them, little by little, when it's convenient for you.
• The first module will open when you sign up, and every week a new module will  be unlocked for you.
• Each module contains: 4 video lectures with me (lasting from 10 to 30 minutes each), extra videos, images, information sheets, fun facts and an optional homework paper.
• I run a monthly 100% live Q&A session, where you can ask questions about the lectures, and have me explain this or that image. 
• The recording of the Q&A will be put on the portal for you to watch whenever it's convenient.
• We have a private Facebook group. This is a place where you can ask questions, and where we can share images and thoughts.
• You have access to all this material for a full year. 
• Every week we get to know artists, see beautiful works of art,  and we hear exciting stories and anecdotes. 
• You will learn exactly where to find these works of art in real life.
• You will obtain an excellent basis for planning future travels, particularly to Paris, but also to other cities, both in Europe and the USA. 
• I am available for your questions throughout the whole course period.
