After that course I am only one essay away from a Master, and being able to teach...
One thing that I would like to talk about, is why there are only 15 women represented in art history, from the time the sculpture Venus of Willendorf was created 28.000 years B.C., until today.
To make things worse, what I've learned about art history shows that almost all male artists had female muses, often more creative and talented than the men.
@jasonb I got the schedule today and the whole course will run until June 2024! 😳 It’s only half speed for those with a day job, but I felt a bit nervous, and thought “what if I’ve taken on too much? what if I fail? What if I am not good enough?” But then I thought about how much I like the subject, and that I’ve had 100% survival success through every other course I’ve taken. It will end with an essay and then I can take the Master.
@MariaLiv Two courses for me. The first one is on Tuesday evenings and will be very intense. I've got readings for each class, and then a couple of books while programming. 🥴
Second class is a database class on Thursdays and it'll be a bit easier with less reading but more practical work.
I'm the second oldest person in my class, which can be intimidating in itself, but I'm going to enjoy them both.
But for the next two years I'm going to be extremely busy.
I was a dinasour compared to the 20 year olds when I went to law school (I basically could have been their mother), and I am probably the oldest one in this course as well. But experience comes with age, there's no other way to become wiser. 💛
