Teaching History with Art Presented by James E
Historic Southern Indiana Interpretation Workshop, March 2-4, 1998 Views from the Past: Teaching History with Art Presented By James E. May Synopsis: When art began it was life. The distinctions we see between our necessary functions and our ephemeral passions did not exist. You made art to help you in your life. In the caves at Lascaux, perhaps the first historic homes of which we have record, Paleolithic Man decorated his walls. He drew on them with chunks of yellow and red ochre. He then blew those pigments on the wall or mixed them with animal fat to color reindeer, horses, bison, boars and wolves. He also painted traps and spears and symbols for himself engaged in the hunt. Besides the paintings are thousands of engravings in the stone walls. These "primitive" engaged in a ritual that involved drawing and painting in a sort of figurative hunt that survives today as either a record of thanks or a prayer for success. The Venus of Willendorf, perhaps the oldest known work of art, also is ritualistic at its core. It is a symbol to insure fertility. Somehow, over millennia, we go to THIS POINT where we have so disconnected art from life that some people even say they have no use for it. Or have we? I hope to discuss over the next hour how we can use art to teach about or learn fro life and the rewards and perils of doing so. Since we are mostly, if not all professionals dealing with the 19th or 20th centuries, I will mostly confine myself to that period but no entirely and not entirely, but mostly, to America. -

Given his leading role at court in what Patrick Collinson calls the “nasty nineties,” Essex has taken much of the blame for the divisive factional politics of Elizabeth’s final decade. However, leading recent efforts to salvage Essex’s reputation, historian Paul Hammer has uncovered a sophisticated bureaucracy operated by highly educated scholars and led by an intelligent, cultivated statesman. A considerable number of high-profile literary figures, moreover, willingly engaged with this ambitiously expanding Essex faction. -
