Contemplating the Liberal Arts {a series}

 

liberal arts side bar image

 

What are the liberal arts? How were they thought of in Ancient and Medieval times? Why were those seven liberal arts singled out above everything else one could learn? What is so special about them? How do we apply and encounter those arts today? What do they look like, practically, in today’s Christian classical homeschool?

 

These are just some of the questions we are wrestling with as we begin this series about the liberal arts. Join us! As we publish more posts we will include links to them here. I look forward to moving deeper into the tradition with you as we learn more about the liberal arts and what they were meant to be.

      Thank you for reaching out. Yes, there are spots available. As long as the course is showing up in the shop area, there are spaces available. Other than a computer, you will need to download Zoom, which is a free video conferencing plugin. A link to download this is in the welcome email. I did just adjust the dates for this course. We are now beginning on January 18th to allow a little more space between the holidays and the start of the course. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
