    A journey through the history of French art, from the gargoyles of Gothic architecture through the flowering of humanism in the Renaissance; from the grand siècle under Louis XIV to the enchantments of French rococo; the dizzying proliferation of styles  –– realism, romanticism, symbolism, impressionism, and others –– that marked the tumultuous 19th century and the rise of the bourgeoisie as the principal consumers of art, and finally culminating in the experimental avant-garde of the 20th century and the development of abstraction. Through an encounter with the rich and diverse history of French art, students will improve their ability to describe and discuss artworks and communicate their visual impressions.

    This class is for students who have a good grammar base but could benefit from some additional practice including conjugation of the most used tenses, negation, correct pronoun usage and placement, distinguishing between the past tenses, si clauses, etc. Depending on the desires and abilities of the class, we may also delve into lesser studied aspects of grammar like the past subjunctive, double pronouns, agreement with composed tenses, etc. Each week, students will have a few pages of grammar exercises to complete at home that we’ll correct in class. I’m open to any and all suggestions as to what aspects of grammar we study. Class will be conducted in French and English.
