Even before the heated political issues of the 1850s, the roots of the war date back decades-all the way to the formation of the United States. This presentation will explore the events and people who shaped our country's history as it became divided by issues such as slavery, sectionalism, and states' rights before ultimately exploding into secession and war.

May 25: McClellan and the Peninsular Campaign
June 15: The War of 1812

WHEN: 2:00 p.m. March 6, April 3 and May 8
WHERE: Blake Library, John F. Armstrong Wing, 2351 SE Monterey Road, Stuart
HOW: Free and open to the public. For movie details see schedule that follows, pick up a flier at the Blake Library Circulation desk or call (772) 221-1403.
Schedule - Art of the Age & The Story of English:
Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2:00 p.m. - Ancient Celtic Art Treasures (1 hr.) followed by one-hour DVD that begins the remarkable story of our English language. Where did English come from? Brought to England by invading Germanic tribes beginning in the 5th century, Anglo-Saxon displaced the Celtic language and took root.
Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2:00 p.m. - Art of the Bayeux Tapestry (1 hr.) followed by one-hour DVD that begins with the Norman Conquest of 1066 when England became a bilingual land-French for the rulers, English for the common folk. How did French affect the development of English? And how did Chaucer's classic Canterbury Tales-written in Middle English-influence what we read today?
Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2:00 p.m. - The Book of Kells (1 hr.) Experience the great glory of Irish art, The Book of Kells, whose beauty has earned it the reputation of the most beautiful book in the world. Celtic designs, decoration and calligraphy adorn the Four Gospels created by the Irish monks. Following that, a second one-hour film continues The Story of English with William Tyndale, who dared to translate the Bible from Latin into English so that everyone-not just the clergy-could read and interpret it.
Tueday, Jan. 17, 2:00 p.m. - Masters of Sea and Sail (l hr.) This glorious one-hour film on 17th century Dutch marine artists is a voyage in art aboard magnificent sailing ships on the high seas. Following will be a one-hour film on the continuation of The Story of English as trading ships sailed the seas, and sea trade words from 50 languages entered the English language. At this time, Shakespeare's contribution of roughly 2,000 words commonly used today influenced the power and beauty of the English language.
Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2:00 p.m. - Riches, Rivals and Radicals - 100 Years of Museums in America (l hr.) The formation of great art collections grew simultaneously with American English. The first one-hour film presents the art collections of wealthy Americans that evolved into museums as the Smithsonian, Gardner Museum in Boston, Guggenheim and Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The second one-hour film continues The Story of English from the Plymouth Plantation to the 19th century when new words were added from frontiersmen, cowboys, gamblers, African slave ships and Mark Twain.
Tuesday, March 6, 2:00 p.m. - Thomas Gainsborough 1727-1788 (1 hr.) London was the epicenter of art in 18th century England, and the first one-hour film presents Thomas Gainsborough whose "Blue Boy" became one of the world's recognizable paintings.
