It’s defined by illusion, movement in space, drama, rich color > and materials, contrast, exuberant detail, and grandeur. It’s full of > allegory and it brought the diagonal onto the canvas. We’ll look at five > painters who defined the Baroque: Caravaggio, Artemisia Gentileschi, Peter > Paul Rubens, Rembrandt van Rijn and Johannes Vermeer. While the ideas of the > Baroque offered them an artistic umbrella, each artist was a brilliant > innovator whose work has a dominant place in art history. > > Week 1: Caravaggio: Chiaroscuro: dramatic contrast builds dimension > Week 2: Artemisia Gentileschi: Creating courageous and powerful women > Week 3: Peter Paul Rubens: Movement, color, sensuality and professionalism > Week 4: Rembrandt van Rijn: Portraits of humanity, morality and realism > Week 5: Johannes Vermeer: Domestic life in the light of a single room > 5 Mo | Sep 30-Nov 4 | 10-11:30 am | Online > > > Notable Supreme Court Cases of 2024 with Douglas Wilkins > This year, the U.S. Supreme Court decided an unusually large number of > momentous and potentially divisive issues. Among other things, those included > abortion, free speech, gun regulation, agency power and, of course, major > cases involving former President Trump. Did the justices honestly try to > determine what the constitution, precedent and facts require? Or do their > decisions just reflect the majority’s policy preferences or partisan > behavior? Which judges provided "swing votes" and why? Are we undergoing a > revolution in modes of constitutional interpretation? As one justice says, to > answer these questions, we must “read the decision.” We will discuss nine of > the court’s 2023 decisions, as case studies raising a number of questions: > Did the court’s majority stay within its judicial lane in each case? Did it > jump existing guardrails or put its thumb on the scales? The instructor will > draw on his experience as a recently-retired trial court judge and, > previously, a lawyer who briefed and argued cases in state and federal > appellate courts, including one U.S. Supreme Court oral argument.
