Free trial lesson "What is Renaissance?"

Dear parents, I invite people aged 10+ and 15+ to a free trial lesson "What is the Renaissance?"
February 1, Saturday
10:30 group 10+
18:30 group 12+
What will we talk about in the introductory lesson?
How did the Little Ice Age trigger the Renaissance?
And what, in fact, was being revived?
How did the plague contribute to women's equality?
Who and why rebuilt the magnificent cities of the Renaissance?
Why did the church quarrel with science and with itself?
A side effect of all of the above: the beautiful art of the Renaissance.
Well, I'll also tell you a little about poisoning, lifestyle, new ways of waging war!
How it all goes:
We get acquainted, I show a lot of pictures and tell stories, swear in Latin (crossed out), along the way I ask the audience questions, at the end all the participants give feedback - we discuss what impressed them most, what they remember! I try to structure the classes so that even those who are not knowledgeable in history will find it interesting!
If the person likes the first meeting, you can sign up for the main paid course of 8 classes on the art and culture of the Renaissance! The cost of the course is $ 80. All those classes are recorded.
Topics of the main course:
1. Trecento. South and North. Hanseatic League, Popes in captivity, intrigue and passion. International Gothic and discoveries in painting.
