A9255: History of Art in 50 Minutes in Spark 2015 (Mar. 14 - 15, 2015)
Let's race through all of art history in 50 minutes! From the Venus of Hohle Fels to modern art to contemporary art, let's whisk through the major periods and styles of art, briefly (and I mean briefly) mentioning some of the most important pieces of various styles.


H9256: Experimental Writing in Spark 2015 (Mar. 14 - 15, 2015)
Have you heard of blackout poems? Erasure text? Concrete poetry? Have you ever played Exquisite Corpse or Syllogism? In this class, we'll talk about some forms of "experimental" writing and have some fun coming up with our own forms of experimental writing. We'll play some collaborative word games and, at the end, hopefully you'll come away with some new ideas about what constitutes "writing".


B9069: Arthurian Legend in Splash 2014 (Nov. 22 - 23, 2014)
Have an interest in stories about King Arthur? Confused about all the different versions of the story that are floating about? We'll spend some time in class talking about different aspects of the King Arthur legend. No need to have read any particular work -- though some knowledge of the legend in general would be helpful. We'll also be reading some (short) passages in class that we'll talk about.
