Courses: September 2024

National Gallery of Singapore

As We See It: Visual Analysis Through Southeast Asian Art
A fascinating course covering the basic principles of looking at art, including colour, perspective, size and media.  I also learnt a lot about the recent history of Singapore and the other countries in that region.


OpenLearn

Beginner's Italian: Food & Drink  Covers some basic information regarding ordering food and drink in cafés, as well as some history of famous Italian cafés.

Getting Started with Italian, Parts 1, 2 and 3  Part 1 mainly covered the same information as the above course, Parts 2 and 3 are devoted to times and train and boat timetables.

Introducing Mammals  A look at what makes mammals different from other living creatures.  I found it very interesting, looking more deeply into areas I vaguely remember from school.  There's a whole series of courses on different types of mammals, so having done Classical summer an an early autumn Italian, the next few months will be all about the mammals.
