Peninsula residents benefit
from new college telecourse

Residents of the Saanich Penin-
sula area can benefit from a new
visual arts telecourse to be offered
locally in January by Emily Carr
College of Art and Design
(ECCAD), and the Open Univer-
sity.

A Survey of Western Art 1
explores western visual tradition
from Stonehenge, through the
early civilizations of the Ancient
Near East, Egypt, Crete and
Mycenae, The Classical World, to
the Romanesque and Gothic Art.

The course will interest those in
the Sidney area wishing to under-
stand art, architecture and sculp-
ture in the historic and cultural
context of each period.

Two units are based on the
widely acclaimed television series
Art of the Western World, with
four additional programs.

In each program, experts exam-
ine works in detail, isolating, with
the aid of the close-up camera,
important visual features that
explain the works’ significance.

A Survey of Western Art will be
offered via the Knowledge Net-
work on alternate Mondays, begin-
ning January 7th (repeating Sun-

days at 3 p.m. beginning January
13).

Those enrolling in the course for
academic credit (three credits from
the Open University, or four cre-
dits from ECCAD) will also
receive a package of study guides,
Helen Gardener’s text Art
Through the Ages, and Sayre’s
Writing About Art.

Registration deadline for A Sur-
vey of Western Art is Dec.. 17,
1990. Anyone in Sidney may.
enroll by contacting the Open
University at Box 97000, Rich-
mond, B.C., V6Y 2A2, phone
toll-free 1-800-663-9711, or
Emily Carr College of Art and
Design, 1399 Johnston Street,
Vancouver, B.C., V6H 3R9, phone
687-2345.

Saanich Peninsula area residents
will also be offered a repeat of two
popular telecourses on the Know-
ledge Network this January. The
drawing course Mark and Image
begins Thursday, Jan. 17 at 6 p.m.
(repeating Tuesday, 1 p.m., begin-
ning Jan. 22).

Colour: An Introduction begins
Tuesday Jan. 15, 6:30 p.m. (tepeat-
ing Fridays, 7:30 p.m. beginning
January 18).

A very, merry
Christmas to all.
