APL / CAE Course Update – January 2018
Another Perspective on Learning (aka Richard Stone) has recently completed another successful batch of lecture presentations. The second four part instalment of an ongoing voyage around the Mediterranean was delivered for Melbourne’s Council for Adult Education. This was followed by a repeat of the popular “Germany Between the Wars” course. Three sessions on the Spanish Civil War were presented as an independent venture and a series of three illustrated introductions to 20th Century artists took place on Saturday afternoons at the historic Villa Alba in Kew.
The Sunday evening Music/Travel sessions at the Forest Hill Retirement Village are continuing to prove popular. The operas of Rossini, Queen Victoria’s music, the Spanish Zarzuela and Gilbert and Sullivan have recently been on the agenda.
Coming up during the opening months of 2018 are CAE Short Courses addressing a variety of topics. These include: Literature and the Great War, English Romantic Poetry, Post Impressionist painting, Medieval France, Renaissance Florence, George Orwell and introductions to three further Shakespearean plays.
More APL National Gallery of Victoria visits and “in-house” sessions on great artists and historical topics are being offered during February and March.
