Following
WWII, there was a brief time when writers and artists held Americans in
sway. It was a time when television was as young as the boomers
themselves, and between the explosion of television and the exposure of
radio, these artists and their works had a tremendous influence on a young
audience in the 1960's. These two seminars examine the times, the artists, and their lasting
impact.Each class is a stand-alone
presentation.
Attend any or all of them!
