Brown Baggin It!
Written by Zach in Art Friday Post News

Thank you everyone for your topic contributions. We decided to use a suggestion submitted by Anna Grace. She proposed “Persephone” as the subject for this week’s post. In Greek mythology Persephone is well known for being the embodiment of the Earth’s fertility, but she’s also the queen of the underworld. Her myth says that when she hangs out with Hades down below, everything up top dies, and we get the change of the seasons. So, anyway, she’s our topic. Oh, one more thing.

This Friday’s Post
Written by Zach in News

Prospero Tempest
Illustration by Walter Crane 1893

Prospero is the subject for this Friday’s post. The central figure of Shakespeare’s play The Tempest, Prospero is thought to be the counterpoint to Marlowe’s Faustus. Shipwrecked on an island for 12 years, Prospero learns magic from his books (a Renaissance approach). Anyhow, he’s the center for Friday’s post. Thanks.

I would like it if you would propose a topic for the following Friday’s post. It might be fun. You can email your suggestions to zfranzen(@)portlandstudios.com. That way I can read them.
