Nec Me Mea Fallit imago

Another Eventful Day at Latin Academy!

6/28/2018

     We had another exciting day of Greek today, after which we listened to UVA Professor, Dr. John Miller, speak on Ovid's effect on fine art. Dr. Miller linked Ovid's literature to famous paintings and sculptures. He showed the connection between the famous author's version of myths and that of renowned artists such as Titian and Rembrandt. After the thought-provoking lecture,  we split up to work on Nuntia, Memoranda, and the play. Actors memorized their lines, writers for the Nuntia (Academy newspaper) interviewed faculty, and those working on the Memoranda project began working on their video to memorialize our time here.
     Following dinner, we headed towards Brock Commons for a screening of the movie adaptation of "Iphigenia". The movie follows the story of the play written by Euripides in which the main character, Iphigenia, is sacrificed by her father in a tragic string of events. Though shot roughly forty years ago, the movie had an immediate impact on us. As we watched, we were looking for connections to Greek tragedy and later analyzed the film for its cinematic themes and vices.
     We are looking forward towards our first field trip tomorrow to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
