In this class we will explore the world of some of the greatest composers, writers, and artists in history. We will discuss their childhood, their influences, and what they did that left a mark on history. We will discuss the differences between them, and how the time period that they lived shaped their artistic creations. We will explore their legacy, influence, unique style. Each class will include a video lecture, discussion questions, and different assignments pertaining to the weekly topic (reading/writing poetry, listening to music, watching a movie). Students will explore the different types of art and examine their own ways of self-expression. This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.). Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course. This class is presented in an asynchronous format. If you are taking this class through the Class Subscriptions, there will be no communication between learner and myself. If you are taking this class through the Self-Paced format, you will have 1 year to complete the lessons. If you choose to submit homework or communicate (questions on the classroom page), I will respond within 24 hours (excluding Sundays).
