There are still places available on these programs. Deadline for Registration: April 28th CLASSICAL MYTH, ART AND ARCHITECTURE ON THE STREETS AND BUILDINGS OF NEW YORK CITY August 1-4, 2000 Classical mythological sculpture decorates our buildings, enhances our parks, squares and public spaces, and ennobles out civic architecture. New York City’s public architectural sculpture (a veritable encyclopedia of architectural decoration from ancient to modern times) is some of the finest in the world, enriching its civic and cultural centers, cathedrals, museums, schools and skyscrapers. This four (4) day program will focus on specific topics which underscore the heritage of the Classical World and the imprint of ancient myth, art and architecture on New York City. Topics for the Program: -- Roman Myths, New York History and Yankee Classicism: From Aeneas to Stuyvesant and Paul Manship -- Classical Myths on the Streets of Central Manhattan: Sculpture, Architecture and Decoration -- Classical Myths at Washington Square and Civic Center: Cincinnatus and Washington -- Classical Myths from Wall Street to Liberty Island: Temples and Sculptures in the New World *********************************** WASHINGTON & ROME: AN INTERSECTION OF CIVILIZATIONS — July 23-29, 2000 With Graduate Credit through the College of Extended Studies at San Diego State University Rome and Roman civilization have exhibited an almost inexhaustible capacity to contribute to America’s unending process of self-definition. Washington has always been regarded as a Classical City. Roman civilization provided inspiration to the architects of the New Republic and Rome itself provided monumental models to the designers and builders of our National Capitol City. Washington was built on a plantation named “Rome” and the “Tiber” river still flows beneath Capitol Hill — symbolically suggesting the source of inspiration of the American experience. The Classical buildings of Washington monumentalize the Roman cultural heritage and harken back to “the great city of marble” which Augustus built on the banks of the Tiber in Italy. This carefully designed Institute Program will offer a new “reading” of American culture, highlighting fresh interpretations of American history and new insights into American civilization through a comparison of the history, culture and leaders of Rome and her world empire with the American experience. This program will focus on specific topics of American civilization which underscore the traditions of Rome and the imprint of Roman civilization upon America and the American nation: (1) The Making of a Constitution: Parallels Between Roman and American Civilization (2) Roman and American Myths and Legends: From Aeneas to George Washington and Daniel Boone. (3) Architecture, Art and Sculpture in Rome and Washington (4) Vergil in America: Literature, Art and Music (5) Pompeiian Art in the US Capitol: Brumidi and Pompeian Frescoes. Program details: This Institute Program in Washington DC (July 23-29, 2000) is designed for teachers at the elementary middle and high school levels who teach American civilization courses, the civilization of the ancient world and classical subjects. Classroom lectures, groups discussions and guided exploration of museums and governmental buildings in Washington will offer exceptional opportunities for hands-on experiences for institute participants. The Institute Program includes: * Lodging (double accommodations) at the Marriot Hotel Conference Center at Georgetown University (6 nights: 8/3-8/9) * All breakfasts and lunches. * All entrance fees to museums and excursions in Washington.
