Building the Basilica: A Closer Look at St. Peter’s of Rome


Anyone viewing the splendid Basilica of St. Peter in Rome is awestruck by its immensity and majesty. Yet many are unaware of its dramatic history. With construction spanning well over a century, its creation fueled the ambition of thirty popes and some of history’s most preeminent artists and architects: Raphael, Bramante, Bernini, and a reluctant Michelangelo. St. Peter’s is not only an artistic triumph, but also a feat of engineering, erected with little more than manual tools. But the ultimate cost was unimaginable, as its controversial financing provoked the Protestant Reformation. Explore the inspiration, upheaval, and intrigue in this dramatic tale.

The Wild West: A Frontier of Utopian Communities


The history of the American West is filled with idealists who wanted to create their own versions of heaven on earth. The story of the many, and diverse, utopian communities is one of the most interesting chapters of our nation’s history. Socialists, Anarchists, Transcendentalists, Theosophists, Mormons, and dozens of other groups have played a major role in developing the region. Who were these dreamers? What kind of communities did they build? Why have some of the experiments continued and others failed? In what ways have utopianism’s ideas influenced the modern United States’ West? Come with us to explore a unique, and sometimes troubling, chapter in the American experience.

Instructor: JackWilliams, Ph.D. History of Photography


One of the greatest inventions of the 19th century was photography. It was not invented overnight; instead it evolved over a 2500 year period before the first photograph was ever made in 1826. A fascinating history was left behind which this course will explore. Now photography is everywhere-from snapshots to news photos, art pictures to science - photography is a widely used medium. But it took some 150 years of refining the original process to arrive at the art of photography we know today. Albert C. Koetsier, well known x-ray photography artist, has spent the last 60 years studying and experimenting with almost everything photographic and will lead students through this captivating history.
