Beyond the Four-Legged Woman, the sword swallowers, and “Lionel the Lion-Faced Man,” was an entirely different exhibit: rows of tiny, premature human babies living in glass incubators. Barkers, including a young Cary Grant, called out to passersby, enticing visitors to come see the preemies. The brainchild of this exhibit was Dr. Martin Couney, an enigmatic figure in the history of medicine. Couney created and ran incubato..." Tag: Visual edit

Because the art of cinema naturally lends itself to sensuality, this curriculum is intended for secondary students and undergraduates at a level of maturity where they will not be disturbed by depictions of violence or infatuated with depictions of sexuality. Remember: moving pictures are an illusion of life. Just because..." Tag: Visual edit

Much art will also be referenced in the general history curricula, as reflective of a given era and shifting aesthetic values in society, but here we will focus on the interpretation of representational and symbolic artwork across time, primarily painting, illustration, and photography, both in the realm of the fine arts and popular..."

Growing in our grasp of historical lore helps us understand who we are and tunes our imagination to all that is possible. It makes our arguments deeper and richer.

Most poems are not about worldview or history or narrative or society. Poetry is about itself and perpetual things: God, life and death, sex, aging, the seasons. (Poems that do directly speak to history and society are included in the history curriculum.) This curriculum is intended to initiate students into that rarest of traits: genuine appreciation of poetry. I..." Tag: Visual edit

While nothing can substitute for close reading, the most efficient way to make students generally confident and adept at textual interpretation is by providing context -- that is, as broad a survey of world literature and history as possible so that they can notice parallels and themes spanning all times and places, while also foregrounding idiosyncrasies.

His music suggests the contemplative devotion and purity of Gregorian plainchant and Renaissance church chorale, though it could only have been written today, being at once archaic and abstract-modern. With its sense of stasis and light, the music reflects the immensity of the Baltic landscape and Estonia’s own forested plains. Under communism, Pärt f..." current Tag: Visual edit
