Notre Dame de Paris: The Art, History and the Devastating Fire of 2019Marleen Hoover, Professor Emeritus, San Antonio College, Adjunct Professor, St. Mary's University

The Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, with construction begun in 1160 and completed 100 years later, is considered the most complete and most perfect of all the Gothic cathedrals. The cathedral contains all of the classic Gothic elements-the pointed arches over windows and doors, the flying buttresses, the stained glass windows and the great height. There was damage to religious images during the French Revolution and again during the liberation of Paris in 1944. Damage from pollution and pigeons was nothing compared to the fire of 2019. Let’s look at the damage, the repairs, what has been lost and what has been saved.Location: Oasis at The Meadows

Great 20th Century American RealistsMarleen Hoover, Professor Emeritus, San Antonio College, Adjunct Professor, St. Mary's UniversityIn the early 20th Century there were artists in the United States who rejected modern and abstract art that was imported from Europe.

The Remaking of Hollywood FilmsBeverly PradoIn the history of films, a good story has often had more than one telling. In the early days of Hollywood, films like Ben Hur and Cleopatra were huge draws at the box office. Later, these movies would be revived in more modern versions. A film like A Star is Born has had four revivals. My Favorite Wife was modernized by Move Over, Darling. King Kong got updated with new technology. Even Mary Poppins returned. This class will compare and contrast some of the best stories that Hollywood has offered up to its audiences.

Flooding in South TexasDavid Turner, Ph.D., St. Mary's UniversityThe history of South Texas is shaped by water. The missions were established on the banks of the San Antonio River, and the creeks and springs that feed our rivers have played an important role in the development of the region. San Antonio is also located at the place where powerful weather systems can converge to create significant rainfall, often resulting in severe flooding in the streams that cross our city. This presentation will describe the history of flooding in San Antonio, the geologic and climatic reasons for flooding, as well as efforts to reduce flooding hazards.
