Money Matters and Adventures in Art History 7/6-7/10/15

Money Matters 

In this fun course, students will create a budget, find a place to live and buy a car.  They will also make a grocery list, and figure out if they can afford to eat out all based on their budgets. But wait, they have to use cash! Students will be making grown-up decisions:  “Should I live in a luxury apartment or get a roommate?” “Should I buy a new or used car?” “What should your entertainment budget be?” All is fun and games until “life happens”, where real-life situations take place and you students have to budget for them. Come join our class and learn that managing money can be fun and…no credit cards allowed!

Adventures in Art History

The class will journey through the ages as artists of the times, studying the historical period and creating a piece of art.  We will begin as pre-historic cave painters, cruise the Nile in Ancient Egypt and write in hieroglyphics, join the rise of Constantine and mosaic art, move onto the Middle Ages and the Gothic artists of stained glass windows, journey to the Renaissance or “re-birth” from Leonardo’s science discoveries and explorers of the seas, paint in the fashion of Michelangelo and so much more, pass through to Velázquez and become court “reporters” as he was; cross over to the Impressionists and the pointillism of Seurat; tour the Fauves – “Wild Beasts” and Cubism of Picasso and Matisse, voyage to let loose with Jackson Pollack and Abstract Expressionism, and lastly, discover the P-O-P Artists, Warhol, Rauschenberg, Lichtenstein.  The students will have built a portfolio by the end of the class.
