This course focuses on how and why artists through the millennia have portrayed their subjects, and will include plenty of contextualizing history. How have portraits changed through time? What functions have portraits performed through the miles and millennia? What is the artist and his/her subject telling us? We will decipher the coded messages in the portrait of a very famous “Princess”, examine a portrait that contained an actual body part of its subject, learn the heartbreaking story of a pair of artists who were star-crossed lovers, and marvel at the secrets of a world-famous double portrait, among many others.

Our focus will be paintings, but we will also delve into popular art of the time, as well as photography. In addition, we will look at the art created on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line. How does a painting of icebergs relate to the Civil War? What famous French artist painted a Civil War battle scene? How were women involved in the War? Sign up and find out…

Making Friends with the Zodiac Course Registration Number: 10994 Session B Day: Tuesday Time: 1:15 p.m.-2:25 p.m. Whether a person considers astrology to be a valid tool or not, they are probably familiar with “their sign”.

If One Can Make A Difference

Imagine what MORE Can Do! In 2014 a report from Feeding America found that one in 10 hungry adults seeking emergency food assistance is a student - two million of whom are studying full-time. Food insecurity has increasingly become an issue on college and university campuses (Hughes et. al., 2011), and can pose a significant barrier to student success (Johnson, 2011). Understanding that education is the key to getting out of poverty, Immaculata University has created IU Cares - Food Cupboard to provide support and resources for those in need. To alleviate the barriers and challenges associated with food insecurity and hunger IU Cares - Food Cupboard will support students through providing nutritious food, local resources, and the strength and support for those in need. The IU Cares - Food Cupboard is still in development and will open during the spring 2018 semester. LLI can support this campus initiative through food donations along with volunteers to help staff the cupboard. More details about this engaging opportunity will be communicated throughout the spring semester.

Stay up-to-date with information about IU Cares through the weekly emails and semester newsletter.
