The Horse in Art

31 January, 2024 Halifax Art Society

19th January 2024 – Members braved the snow today to learn all about horses in art. Researched and presented by Lynne Hickin, members enjoyed learning all about the horse as a subject from early cave paintings to modern day. Next week Lynne will lead us on a workshop where we will create our versions of the Horse.
