Presentation transcript:

The painter Thomas Cole did a series of works called The Course of the Empire. It was based on a few lines from a poem by the poet Byron about the rise and fall of humanity. Byron wrote: There is the moral of all human tales; This but the same rehearsal of the past First Freedom, and then Glory: when that fails Wealth, vice, corruption And History, with all her volumes vast, Hath but one page.

 Look through the paintings in the series – what do you notice? As you look through the paintings, think about the parallels between them and the rise and fall of civilizations.

 Do you think that the paintings are an appropriate metaphor for the rise and fall of a nation? If so, what stage do you think our world is in?  Are the paintings utopic or dystopic? Can the same place be both utopic and dystopic?
