While all artists faced societal challenges,women artists encountered more significantrestrictions than male artists. Women were barred from art training at the national academies. They had almost no opportunities todisplay or to sell their art. After death, their artwas often attributed to male artists. Yet despitethese formidable challenges, a few talented women broke through the barriers. This coursewill explore the works of representative artistsfrom the Renaissance until today.

English Tudor Dynasty History:The Six Wives of Henry VIII (C/S038)“Divorced, beheaded died, divorced beheaded,survived.” With this little mnemonic, Englishschool children learn to differentiate between the 6 wives of this notorious monarch – but these descriptions are hardly comprehensive.In this class we will take “a wife a week” and explore who these women were, who the realHenry VIII was, and how each of them alteredthe course of English history. Each in her ownway was a tragic figure; some pursued theirfates with open eyes, some fell into the historybooks against their wills. From the Spanishmatrimonial pawn Catherine of Aragon to theworldly-wise Katherine Parr, these women are the focus of the royal Tudor saga which hasintrigued the world for centuries. Was theretruth behind the adultery claims that doomedAnne Boleyn? Why was Anne of Cleves such a critical tool for the security of the realm? Wasthe seemingly innocent Katherine Howard trulyso inexperienced? How did Katherine Parralmost end up on the block? What killed JaneSeymour? Why was Catherine of Aragon so beloved by the people? Did Henry actually loveany of these women – and did any of them lovehim? We will sample the fashions, music andliterature of this colorful and compelling era.
