Art & Art History   

We will be starting with the Edo Period (1615 - 1868), which was a time of peace and a flourishing of culture and art for Japan. Following this period, we will explore Japan in the 20th century and the events that triggered an outpouring of art. I aim to end with a look at contemporary Japan.

We'll meet at Riverside Cemetery where students will be led on a weekly tour to view the monuments and hear the stories of those resting at Riverside, which includes architects, artists, industrialists, inventors, soldiers, suffragettes, and others who've changed local, state, and national history.

Please Note: This course will take place at Riverside Cemetery, 496 Riverside Street, Waterbury, CT 06708.

Come learn the principles of sacred geometry, including the symbolism of geometric shapes and patterns found in history and nature - no math needed! We'll learn to draw and construct sacred geometric designs, their spiritual significance in cultural traditions, and study their practical uses.
