I trust you all had excellent summers, and if you did it will have been a perfect prelude to an excellent Humanities program. We have ten great performances to prepare for and then attend. There are four operas, three plays, one ballet, and two symphony performances. In addition to studying these great masterpieces, we will survey the history of European/American Art and explore some of the great writers and composers of our cultural tradition.
That you signed up for Humanities already means you are an interesting person who is willing to explore and learn about and experience new things. In this first blog response, tell me and the rest of the class who will be reading this blog a little about yourself. Tell us about your experiences with various forms of theater and literature and art. Tell us why you took this class and what you hope to learn from it. Be honest, creative, interesting, and, of course, brilliantly entertaining.
This blog entry is due no later than midnight Sunday, September 15.
On the first line of your entry, write your first and last name and your class period.
Thank you for being part of this class and for helping to make it a good experience for all of us. I very much look forward to this year's performance and to experiencing them with you.
