LH41-P. WHAT DOES A RETIRED INVENTOR DO?
The course will be conducted in five sessions. Each one-hour session will include a display of a few of the “inventions” created by the presenter since moving to Landis homes (participants guess their function), discussion of at least one aspect of creativity, a tale of how that aspect applied in the presenter’s life, and a hands-on creative challenge. Questions and other interactions are encouraged. The person who has the most correct identifications of the displayed “inventions” (over all five sessions) will receive free consulting (and possible construction assistance) on solving a problem of personal interest.
LH37-P. MASON & DIXON AND LEWIS & CLARK
Of all the explorations that have occurred throughout the early history of the United States of America, those of Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon and Meriwhether Lewis and William Clark are among the most remarkable in terms of purpose, execution and duration. This class will focus on the historic and geographic factors of the questions of Who, What, When, Where, and Why and the technological (or lack thereof) considerations of the How question.
ML37-P. THE LIVES OF MOZART AND BEETHOVEN AS DEPICTED IN FILM: FACT OR FICTION
When asked to name two of the most well-known composers of classical music, many people will reply by naming Mozart and Beethoven. Hollywood has produced two major motion pictures depicting the lives of these two famous composers. One is the 1984 academy award winning film Amadeus. The other is a film which examines the life of Beethoven and his one true love – the unnamed “Immortal Beloved” mentioned in letters discovered upon his death. This class will examine how Hollywood has depicted the lives of these two beloved composers in film.
