Students who would like to
know about different methods of
birth control are invited to attend
an informal lecture by Sara
Rowdy of the Forsyth County
Family Planning Center Wed
nesday, Nov. 16, sponsored by the
Lifespan Center.
Ms. Rowdy will be in Clewell
Basement from 8-9 p.m. to
discuss and explain birth control
and to answer any questions from
students.
Works of more than 20 artists of
the late Ukiyo-e period will be
represented in the exhibit -
which will be open to the public in
the Fine Arts Center galleries
from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily and
Saturday, 1 to 9 p.m. Sundays.
The public is invited to attend the
opening reception from 2 to 5
p.m. Sunday, November 13.
The history of the Ukiyo-e
period is as fascinating as the art
it produced, and the focus of the
exhibition will be on familiarizing
the public with the art form and
the times in which it flourished.
During the 17th century and the
peace enforced upon Japan by
the Tokugawa shogunate
(military leadership), a new
class of literate commoner
emerged, creating new plebian
arts - Kabuki (the people’s
theatre), Kana-zoshi (the popular
novel), and Ukioy-e (pictures of
“the Floating World”). The art
reflected non-Buddhistic values
and remained as unshadowed by
Buddhism as modem French
poster art is by Christianity.
Ukiyo-e went into its final
phase, or “decadence” period,
during the first half of the 19th
century. Most of this exhibit will
be representative of this period.
Some of the prints will be for sale
by owners Norcar Associates of
New York. Additional prints will
be available for purchase
Monday, Nov. 21, from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m.
