SEPTEMBER 17 – NOVEMBER 7 - Emory Continuing Education

THURSDAYS:
SEPTEMBER 19-NOVEMBER 7
11:20AM-12:20PM
Three Presidents: JFK, LBJ, and Nixon
Instructors: Jack Carew, Dan McIntyre, Morris Socoloff
During the consecutive terms of these three U.S. Presidents
– Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon – the fate of the
world and the leadership role of the U.S. in shaping the
world were dramatically influenced. In addition to the
massive impact of their decisions, these three Presidents
offer a great study of how power is used.
Jack traveled the world and worked in Egypt, Yemen,
Oman, China, Thailand, South Africa, United Kingdom and
Germany. Dan has 35+ years of experience in financial services.
Civil War Series: 1862-1863
Instructor: Sal DePasquale, MCJ, MBA, Vietnam Veteran
For the 150th anniversary of the Atlanta Campaign and
the Battle of Atlanta, this class will examine the events
leading to the inevitable explosion of the Civil War. In the
mid-18th Century, a small group of Christian Evangelicals
in England gave birth of a social movement known as
Abolition. They set in motion a chain reaction of events
ultimately leading to the American Revolution. This class
is not about battles or heroes in battle; it is about the conflict
that began in the 18th Century and continues on today.
Sal has a strong focus in history to identify the underlying
roots of contemporary conflicts.

Instructor: Denis Gray MEd, Technology Support
The purpose of this class is to build on previously acquired
skills learned in the Basic Computing class. New areas to
study include tablets and smartphones, social media and
blogs. Tuition: $40. Limited to 12 participants.
Denis works as a web designer and leads mediation skills
training to law and psychology professionals.
Matisse and Picasso – A Rivalry
Instructor: Clark Poling, PhD Art History
(6 Sessions: Oct. 3 - Nov. 7)
Two giants of modern art, - Matisse and Picasso - had
a friendship and artistic rivalry spanning five decades.
In the early years of the twentieth century, the younger
Picasso created a “primitive” imagery to challenge the
intensity of Matisse’s boldly colored paintings. Matisse
then answered Picasso’s subsequent cubism by calming
its fractured geometry. Serenity versus anguish were the
opposing moods in the two artists’ works between World
Wars I and II. Finally, both living in the south of France
after World War II, they continued their creative dialogue
in their last works, meditating on nature, love, and old age.
Clark taught for 33 years at Emory University, serving as
chair of the Art History Department, director of the Michael
C. Carlos Museum, and Faculty Curator of Works of Art on
Paper.
