Monthaven Art Society Welcomed Guest Speaker Christopher Scott Huffman On January 22nd, the Monthaven Art Society was proud to have Christopher Scott Huffman as its guest speaker for the Members Meeting at the Monthaven Mansion in Hendersonville.
Entirely self-taught, Texas native Christopher Scott
Huffman began his art training primarily by studying the great artists of the
past:
Leonardo da Vinci,
Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian and
Rembrandt and the like. He developed and honed his artistic skills
through a rigorous study of drawing, artistic anatomy and the multi-faceted
elements of painting. His emphasis in training his students is primarily on
learning how to see, a lot of which involves "un-learning" what we think we
know.
