This course aims to provide an introduction to
the history and culture of Ancient Rome and is based around the lives of some
of its most famous (and infamous) characters - real and fictional. As well as their real life achievements or
their role in outstanding works of literature, these figures all reveal
something about Roman values and social assumptions.
No knowledge of Latin is required.
Martin Thorpe read Classics at Cambridge. He has been an active member of the Joint
Association of Classical Teachers, serving as chairman and president. He has been tutor for a number of adult courses

Art classes
This course is inspired by the
tradition of the Cabinet of Curiosities. These curious collections
traditionally comprised a wide variety of exotica and occasionally items of
suspect provenance! Man-made objects were included such as masks and jewellery
or objects relating to magic. We will be
using both the specimens and artefacts from the museum resource centre
collection and also items from the course participants own homes.
The course will follow our pattern of
a first term of observation drawing and painting and a second term to produce a
final complete chart. There is
individual tuition and all abilities are welcome.
