Welcome to Emotions and Senses in 18th century Visual Art and Culture! Join us at Hogarth's House for a fascinating exploration of how emotions and senses were portrayed in art during the 18th century. Recent research has highlighted the nuanced understanding of emotional expression through its historical and contextual relevance. The eighteenth century has been identified by historical scholar such as Retford, Dixon, and Boddice as a critical era of change within emotional landscapes. Art theorists, importantly, have identified the nuanced role art plays in symbolising in an historical era and arousing emotions in its viewers.

I am a psychotherapist who specialises in supporting people through their grief whilst having experienced my own losses in life. Grief is a natural process but it can be a devastatingly lonely process and sometimes we can get stuck in it. The aim of the group is to create a supportive group who journey together through this process so that you don't feel so alone in it. This is a 6 week face to face course during which we will: Share about the person who has died and how our lives have changed We will be looking at those feelings we hide away from the outside world Thinking about the regrets we have Holding onto some memories. Whilst I appreciate there will be times that this will be painful, I hope that you will feel supported and that we can laugh to. Prior to the course I will meet you all individually online and we will come together again (online) after the course to see how you are all getting on. If you have any queries please to not hesitate to contact me toni@schoolscounsellingpartnership.co.uk Information Source: Toni Medcalf | eventbrite
