Arts, Culture & Travel

Fashion and Appearance in Art from Cave Drawings to Star Wars
Using examples of fashion and appearance in fine art, photography and video the course will explore how, from the dawn of history until now, adornment is an important reflection of culture, social class, political beliefs, age, power, etc. The class will discuss how specific aspects of appearance, such as clothing styles and accessories, identify and mirror societal shifts, economics, wars, gender/sex roles, racism and other cultural phenomena. By the end of the course participants should understand the complex relationship between human appearance and the world in which they live.

Remembering the Great Albums of the '60s
Popular music moved from albums to 45s, back to albums in the '60s. This class will explore eight of the albums that changed how we listened to music. We will listen to all or most of these albums all the way through because that is how we listened to them when we first brought them home from the record store. Then we will talk about what made them so significant -- and so meaningful to us. There should be a lot of opinions on the album choices!

The Empire Strikes Back: The British Invasion of American Music in the 1960s
The Beatles took America by storm in 1964, and opened the door for a host of other British musical acts. For the rest of the decade the Brits ruled the charts. Some were one-hit wonders; others like the Rolling Stones, endured. Join me as we take a walk through a seminal rock era. We will listen to a lot of golden oldies and discuss the different acts and their musical influence.
