Etruscan Art
October 6 through October 12
Who were the Etruscans?
Once upon a time before a small village called Rome took control over the Italian peninsula and became one of the largest empires in the ancient world, another civilization once controlled almost the entire peninsula we now call Italy. This brilliant civilization belonged to the Etruscans, a vanished culture whose achievements set the stage not only for the development of ancient Roman culture, but for the Italian Renaissance as well. Etruscan is the modern name given to this ancient Italian civilization. This area corresponds to modern day Tuscany and western Umbria.
Getty Villa Field Trip
Field Trip forms for the Getty Villa will go out this week. We will be attending this trip with Mr. Reyes and his AP Art History class from Canyon. The trip is scheduled for Monday, October 28. The bus will pick us up at 7:10 AM and bring us back by 3:00 PM.
The Getty Villa houses a collection of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan Art. The timing of this trip is perfect. It coincides with the completion of our Ancient Rome Unit. We will be taking a guided tour "Daily Life in the Ancient World" and spending some time in small groups in the galleries. I know all of you are very dedicated students, but I hope you can find time in your academic lives at Villa Park to make some time for this trip.
