LOUGHTON AND EPPING DAY SCHOOL:
THE CHALLENGE OF THE FENS
with
NICHOLAS JAMES
The intensely farmed landscapes of the Fens depend on a complicated balance among diverse factors: local management of water, soil, gravel and clay, wildlife, farm herds and crops; management of water upstream, in the Midlands; and levels of land and sea to the north and east. Study of changes in the balance over the past four millennia can help in predicting the district's future. Over the past four centuries, shifts among economic, political and ethical priorities in the district itself, across the rest of Britain and, recently, the EU, have complicated the process greatly.
When: Tuesday 22nd October 2019, 10.00 to 16.00
Where: Loughton Bowls Club, Eleven Acre Rise, Loughton, IG10 1AN (plenty of parking)
Fee: £25 including coffee and lunch. (please let us know if a vegetarian lunch is required).

Sessions: 10 Course Ref: C2226595

Description: At last - a course devoted to women gardeners!

Why then do we rarely know the names of many extraordinary women in Science, Mathematics, the Arts, Philosophy and other fields of endeavour? Each week we will explore the lives and achievements of women who have changed the world in different areas of life, aiming to answer this question. Participants will be invited, if they wish to do so, to research and present short biographies of famous or infamous women from the past and present.

How these organisms cope with seasonal changes will be discussed and how they interact with one another. Tips on identification and observation techniques will be part of the course using a variety of identification guides. A field excursion will be part of the course.

Course Title: Magic Realism: Art in 1920s Germany
Course Number: C2226643
Course Description: In 1920s Germany artists sought for new ways to express the social divisions, suffering and excitement of life in the Weimar Republic. Reacting against the garish colours and visual distortions of Expressionism painters such as Otto Dix, Max Beckmann, Conrad Felixmuller, Jeanne Mammen and Franz Radziwill developed a style of heightened, near uncanny, realism, which contemporary critic Franz Roh perceptively called 'Magic Realism'. This innovative style, also termed 'New Objectivity', is uncomfortably clear in Christian Schad's 'Self-Portrait with Model', gentler in Mannen's beautiful 'Boring Dolls'. We begin with a class on pre-war and WWI German art. Other topics include contrasting 'Magic Realism' with Berlin's First International Dada Fair of 1920, Hannah Hoch's innovative collages and Georg Grosz's caricatures of capitalists. The final class concludes in the 1930s darkening climate, and we discuss how and why the National Socialists came to term 'Magic Realism' degenerate.

Course Title: The Natural History of Freshwater Habitats
Course Number: C2226699
Course Description: Water is essential to life and rivers, marshes, lakes and gravel pits support many different organisms. Some are havens for both migratory or resident wintering wildfowl. What do these birds eat? Why not join this class to discover what lives on and in these waters and how as the days grow longer, the plants and animals found in wetlands adapt to the warmer days of summer. An outing to a freshwater site is part of the course.

Course Title: Footsteps through the history of our streets
Course Number: C2226642
Course Description: Investigate the Urban History of England from the mid Anglo-Saxon period to the 1950s, with some focus on Wales and Scotland. Learn how changes were different depending on the size and nature of the settlement. Focus particularly on port towns and the ways they changed over time. Understand the development of health and leisure resorts of 1700-1840 and the emerging seaside resorts of the Victorian age. Look at what the industrialising towns of 1700- 1840 were like and how this changed between 1840 and 1950. Discover the Victorian approach to the running of towns and cities. Identify changes in the built environment and housing. Please note this is an introductory course aimed at beginners to the subject- seeking to cover a wide time period, range of topics and geographical area in an introductory level of detail- this course is not suitable for students that already have a deep level of knowledge of this subject.

Course Title: Music and Art
Course Number: C2226690
Course Description: From the Renaissance through to contemporary examples, music and art have often been linked in creative exchange. This course will examine many examples over centuries where images and notes have been used to express responses to the same event, person or scene. From the wood carvings of Albrecht Durer to the paintings of Francis Bacon, music has an equivalence, often surprising. Included in the examples will be work by composers such as Debussy, Hindemith,Respighi and Stephen Sondheim.

Course Title: The Natural History of Flowers
Course Number: C2226707
Course Description: Throughout the summer colourful flowers blossom in meadows, river banks, parks and gardens. Naming them is a pleasant challenge, looking at them in close up is fascinating and students will be given practical advice on honing their identification skills. There will be discussions on how plants need to attract insect pollinators and repel hungry herbivores. Their role in sustaining life will be considered and what conservation measures are working to improve biodiversity. There will be two field excursions to flower rich sites.
