Discovery! Music Appreciation Three-Part Series at Sedgebrook! Italy and the History of Nationalism in Music The earliest history of Italy is one of city states like Rome and later Venice. The Austrians and the French ruled over parts of Italy; the Renaissance began there; Papal government was seated there. The texture and the weave of the arts formed an amazing tapestry within this political scenario. We will listen to works of Rossini, Puccini and Verdi and discuss the life of each composer and the role his life and work played in relationship to the forces of nationalism and the Risorgimento or the unification of Italy. Each of these great composers made a unique contribution to history and to the expression of nationalism in music.

GEORGIA O’KEEFFE (1887-1986) The second of seven children, O’Keeffe grew up on a farm in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Considered a pioneer of modernism, she was unlike most of her contemporaries in that all her training (including the Art Institute of Chicago) and much of her subject matter were purely American. O’Keeffe’s work was first exhibited in Gallery 291, owned by internationally known photographer and art impresario, Alfred Stieglitz (whom she later married). After his death, she moved permanently to her beloved New Mexico (aka O’Keeffe Country), whose stunning vistas and stark landscape configurations had been inspiring her work since 1929. 7400 CDIS 91-005 Southlake Campus Meets Wednesday, April 4 1:00 p.m.-2:30 p.m. $12 Lewis Room R016

ALFRED STIEGLITZ (1864-1946) American photographer Alfred Stieglitz was instrumental in making photography an acceptable art form during his 50-year career. Dubbed the “patron saint of straight photography,” he had a reputation for overcoming technical problems (photographs in snow and rain and at night). He was also known for his marriage to Georgia O’Keeffe. 7401 CDIS 91-006 Southlake Campus Meets Wednesday, April 11 1:00 p.m.-2:30 p.m. $12 Lewis Room R016

ANSEL ADAMS (1902-1984) American landscape photographer Ansel Adams is perhaps the most widely known American photographer. His most important work was devoted to the country’s remaining fragments of untouched wilderness, especially in national parks and other protected areas of the American West. He was also a vigorous, outspoken leader of the conservation movement. 7402 CDIS 91-007 Southlake Campus Meets Wednesday, April 18 1:00 p.m.-2:30 p.m. $12 Lewis Room R016

Four-part series on Impressionists at Lake Forest Senior Center In the late 19th century, the paintings of the Impressionists were thought to be scandalous or amateurish daubs of paint. Having rejected the acceptable subject matter of biblical, heroic, and mythological stories, these artists turned instead to the modern world they lived in. Their work preserved their ‘impressions’ – their personal feelings, their first concepts on canvas. Join Cindy Lewis as she explores four Impressionist painters in her continuing series at Lake Forest Senior Center. CLAUDE MONET (1840-1926) The son of a grocer, Monet was the founder of French impressionist painting and one of the initiators of the first Impressionist exhibition. It was his painting, “Impression Sunrise” in fact, that gave rise to the term impressionism in the first place. Devoted to landscapes, he concentrated especially on the effects of light. 7396 CDIS 91-001 Lake Forest Senior Center Meets Wednesday, March 7 10:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. $12 Lewis Great Room

BERTHE MORISOT (1841-1895) The daughter of a high-ranking civil servant, Morisot received painting instruction privately with various artists. She portrayed a wide range of subjects – from landscapes to still lifes to domestic scenes and portraits. Morisot was a friend and model of Manet’s and the two artists influenced each other. 7397 CDIS 91-002 Lake Forest Senior Center Meets Wednesday, March 14 10:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. $12 Lewis Great Room

PIERRE-AUGUSTE RENOIR (1841-1919) The son of a tailor, Renoir studied to be a porcelain painter before starting his formal art training where he met Monet who strongly influenced his work. Renoir’s paintings are notable for their vibrant light and saturated color, most often focusing on people in intimate and candid compositions. 7398 CDIS 91-003 Lake Forest Senior Center Meets Wednesday, March 21 10:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. $12 Lewis Great Room

MARY CASSATT (1844-1926) The daughter of a wealthy banker, Cassatt was born in Pittsburgh, PA. She lived much of her adult life in France, where she became friends with Degas. Her paintings capture the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children. Cassatt played a major role in the spreading of Impressionist art in the US. 7385 CDIS 91-004 Lake Forest Senior Center Meets Wednesday, March 28 10:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. $12 Lewis Great Room

Four-Part Series on Modern Israel THE ISRAELI LIVING ABROAD Once a taboo subject at home, living abroad for most Israelis who do it can be very complicated. Moshe Pomerantz will introduce you to this cultural/social issue and to a writer and director, Amos Kollek ( son of Jerusalem’s famous former mayor).

Dramatic Trials in the History of Mankind The worldwide history of civilization could well be set forth as an ongoing chronicle of the trials that recount the struggles among adversarial entities and sectors of human society. Join Attorney Melvin S. Merzon as he presents a series of historically important trials that brought about far reaching influences in the history of mankind. THE CHURCH: JOAN OF ARC AND GALILEO

The Trial of Joan of Arc (1431) In 15th century France, Joan of Arc, the once proud and successful leader of French military forces, faced the Church in an inquisition. Accused of “homicidal deeds,” she claimed her efforts were fully responsive to the will of God for which she was charged with heresy.

The Trial of Galileo Galelei (1633) - In the 17th century, despite the continuing ecclesiastical admonitions of the Church, Galileo continued to insist throughout his many speeches and writings that the sun, not the earth, was the center of the universe, angering the Church. 7375 CDIS 29-001 Southlake Campus Meets Wednesday, April 18 9:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. $18 Merzon Room R024

THE MONARCHY: MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS AND CHARLES I

The Trial of Mary, Queen of Scots (1586) With the Renaissance in its 16th century glory throughout Europe, a fateful chain of events in an age of intrigue and religious civil war changed an ascending heir to the throne from a friendly, level-headed young lady to a cold, calculating and vengeful queen that ultimately led to her downfall.

The Trial of Charles I, King of England. (1648) - In 1625, Charles I ascended the English throne as a dedicated advocate of the infallibility of the divine right of kings, swearing to respect the liberties of his people so long as they did not clash with the WWW.CLCILLINOIS.EDU/NONCREDIT

THE STATE: NUREMBERG AND ADOLPH EICHMANN

The Nuremberg Trials (1945) - Recovering from WW I and the post-war punishments meted out by the Allies, the German people succumbed to a Nazi takeover ultimately climaxing in WWII. After achieving the defeat of Germany’s barbarous mission of conquest and accompanying murder of millions of innocents, the Allies convened the Nuremburg Trials, thus establishing a historical precedent that crimes against humanity could be brought before a court of international justice.

The Trial of Adolph Eichmann (1961) - Rising to the top of the Nazi regime in the late 1930’s, but remaining in the background, Adolph Eichmann became the architect of the “final solution to the Jewish problem.” In this role, he oversaw the forcible incarceration and the gas chamber genocide of millions of Jews, not only in Germany, but throughout the conquered nations. 7377 CDIS 29-003 Southlake Campus Meets Wednesday, May 2 9:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. $18 Merzon Room R024

Evolution of the American Presidency - Four-Part Series by Gary Midkiff The writers of the Constitution constructed checks and balances so our chief executives would understand they were the head of only one of the three branches of federal government. However, the details had to be worked out by the 43 men who have held this office in concert with, and sometimes in opposition to, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. Midkiff will trace the evolution of our most important elected office, beginning with what the Constitution says about the Presidency and then how decisions and actions of the 43 presidents shaped the office for their successors. We’ll conclude with a discussion of how the evolution of the Presidency might continue in the 21st century.

Four-part Revolutionary War Series with Joyce Hayworth Haworth continues her march through American history with a discussion of the American Revolution from its causes to the shaping of a nation.

Homeschooler Resources Language Mind & Body

PART 1: BEGINNINGS OF REVOLUTION This class sets the stage for the American Revolution, examining the causes of the conflict between Great Britain and her colonies. Before the war, the colonies were used to running their own affairs, but a series of taxes made them suspect that perhaps England was planning to take away their liberties. Two early Americans, William Byrd and Benjamin Franklin, will also be highlighted. 7411 CDIS 95-009 Southlake Campus Meets Thursday, April 5 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. $16 Haworth Room R024

PART 2: WAR AND INDEPENDENCE This class examines the early days of the war: the battles of Lexington and Concord, and the brilliant way in which the colonists drove the British out of Boston. The roles of George Washington, Henry Knox, Thomas Paine, John Adams, and others will be front and center. The class will finish with an in-depth look at the Declaration of Independence and the story of how it was adopted. 7412 CDIS 95-010 Southlake Campus Meets Thursday, April 12 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. $16 Haworth Room R024

PART 3: WHAT KIND OF FREEDOM? Like all wars, the American Revolution brought with it tremendous turmoil: slave revolts in the South, Indian wars in the west, and suffering in Valley Forge. Even the final triumph at the Battle of Yorktown could not solve the most pressing question of all: what kind of nation would the new United States be? And faced with mounting debts, unjust governance and an armed rebellion, the real question was: would it even survive? 7413 CDIS 95-011 Southlake Campus Meets Thursday, April 19 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. $16 Haworth Room R024

PART 4: A MORE PERFECT UNION A threatened civil war had delegates racing to Philadelphia in 1787 to try to shore up the shaky US government. After a summer of struggle and debate, they came up with a new constitution that most thought might possibly work. Not everyone agreed, though, and many of those who had been united in the war found themselves divided on what “American independence” really meant.” 7414 CDIS 95-012 Southlake Campus Meets Thursday, April 26 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. $16 Haworth Room R024

COLUMBUS “DISCOVERS” AMERICA On October 12, 1492, two worlds met for the first time and both were changed forever.
