Learners Love Our Courses!
The 7 Kickass Women Course was awesome!
The course definitely made me think about not only the artists and the artwork itself, but also how I interacted with themes and concepts presented in the art. It was also so surprising and inspiring to learn about the life path’s of each of the female artists. This course was an excellent way to jog my creativity and learn more about myself, art and the women within it. Would recommend.
Fun, Interactive, Entertaining and Educational
Love interacting with the lesson, the instructor is great, interesting and thorough. Love Wine and love art and so I loved the course. Thanks.
Interactive and Engaging!
I enjoyed the 7 Kickass Women in Art History very much. The content is exceptional and what I liked most about it were the questions that were asked as you moved through the course. It invites you to contemplate the artists’ work, their stories and how it applies to today's world.
It was very thought-provoking and the best part was Debbie responded with her thoughts to my comments quickly. You can actually have a dialogue with her about your reflections which is amazing. Can’t wait to sign up for my next one!

Great Course!
Really enjoyed this course. I was familiar with most of the paintings, yet I appreciated them from a different point of view with the focus on wine. Great insight into different cultures. Good variety and thoughtful. Thank you.
My owner loved it!
My human, Scottie-boy, took the Art's Best Friend! Dogs in Art History course to learn more about art, though I know he really enjoyed the stories about the dogs and owners, especially the ones where the dogs were the heroes. It was the story about James Stuart (some Duke or another) and his faithful greyhound that I liked best.
The greyhound apparently saved James’ life from a wild boar during a ferocious hunt (I would do the same for Scottie-boy). James, forever grateful, bestowed elaborate gifts on his greyhound, including jeweled-studded collars. Now that’s what I call devotion.

I love art and sharing it with others. As a museum-lover, docent and educator I saw how people wanted to learn about and engage with art but couldn’t because of the barriers inherent to museums and cultural institutions. I started Art History for Real to change how people experience art by providing approachable, unique online courses and conversations.
My goal is to make art history relevant to your life—to inspire, sharpen and stimulate. I’ve put my 20+ years-experience developing curriculum, Master’s Degree in Education, Certificate in Museum Studies and in-progress Master’s in Art History to work, to create approachable, enriching learning experiences. I look forward to sharing the inspirational world of art history with you!
