History of Art | January 10th - Period 3

[autolycus-kot.livejournal.com]

As each student enters the room they are directed to pick up a handout and take a seat.



"Okay kids, welcome to History of Art. I'm Autolycus the King of Thieves, your new Art Professor.

"Judging by some of the stories I've been hearing about your last art teacher, this subject was considered a bit of joke. I'm here to tell you that, that's no longer the case. Anyone who signed up for this subject expecting an easy A, is advised to either change their minds or to come see me after class to sign their drop slip.

"That said, I don't intend to turn this into some sort of dreary dull subject. Art is supposed to be highly valuable enjoyable. Now a little bit about this class. As the handout says this course is all about the history of Art, over the next few months, we'll be discussing some of the major art periods and movements throughout the last few millenia, as well as some of the more famous painters and their works.

"Since it's the first lesson you just have the one task today, introduce yourself to your fellow classmates, tell us a little bit about yourself and why you decided to take this subject.

"You also have a homework assignment. Next week we'll be discussing Ancient Egyptian Art, so I want you all to try and find me an example of it. I want this handed in at the start of next weeks lesson."

[ooc: Here's the deal. Just posting "x signs in and listens to lecture." will not get you participation credits. Interact. Discuss the subject with Auto, or your fellow students. Have mildy wacky hijinks. You'll basically have until Thursday night/Friday morning to do so.]
