While most of this year’s Summer Festival will be held in person, Larry Young’s course on Art History and Human Consciousness IS being offered online for the benefit of folks who can’t make it to Thornhill this summer for the rest of the Summer Festival which will be held in person.
Because it’s being offered online, Larry Young’s art history course will be accessible to just about anyone anywhere, as long as they have an internet connection.

From Cave Paintings to Postmodernism: A History of Art and Human Consciousness – Mornings ONLINE
This course is an introduction to the major periods of world art. We will explore the relationship that works of art have to their historical period and to place each period into the context of the larger evolutionary panorama. More than anything else, art shows the pathway of incarnation which humanity has taken, progressing out of a dream-like dependence on the guidance of divine forces to an ever-greater independence and self-consciousness. Hours: 10 am to 12:30 pm Eastern Time. Dates: July 18-22, 2022. Full Summer Festival program details and link to online registration on the website.

As a teacher at the Green Meadow Waldorf School in Spring Valley, he created a high-school art curriculum based on Rudolf Steiner’s perception of the changing adolescent, which he taught for nine years. In 1994, he designed and installed the Truth and Beauty – the Role of the Arts in Waldorf Education exhibit at Saint-John the Divine Cathedral in NYC that was viewed by an estimated 200,000 people.

The outline of the week is as follows: child development, fleshing out the year setting block objectives including art, language arts objectives and math objectives (tasks and content book). The grade eight intensive also includes the planning of weekly schedules and daily schedules/rhythms.
