Children will meet Annibale Carracci, Caravaggio, Rubens, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Bernini, Wren, Vivaldi, Bach and Handel while exploring their unique contributions to the arts. While on their journey, children will also examine cultural movements within an historical context, daily life in Baroque England, baroque fashion and meals, baroque entertainment, exploration and establishment of North American settlements in Jamestown and Plymouth, Galileo, Sir Isaac Newton, The Thirty Years' War, Chateau Versailles, sonnets, musical counterpoint, art patrons, the War of Spanish Succession, and so much more!
