"COMPOSER
SPOTLIGHT: GIUSEPPE VERDI"

operatic giant and includes excerpts from Aida, Nabucco, Rigoletto
and other operas.
"ITALIAN
ART"
Monday, January 16 @ 3:30 PM
Live from The Cleveland Museum of Art. Italy
has a long and rich tradition in the visual arts, but what do these
images communicate about the country's history? Survey Italy's artistic
heritage by exploring why particular subjects were depicted in
sculptures, paintings and decorative arts. Students will learn how
factors such as patronage and subject matter convey some of the ideals
and events important to residents throughout Italy in the last two
thousand years. The objects shown range from decorative arts made by the
ancient Etruscans to a print created by Boccioni, a proponent of the
Italian Futurist movement in the early twentieth century.
