The Western Art of Frederic Remington is a course about the Old American West. The Old American West is a theater, a theater in which beautiful and imposing landscapes host the drama of Territorial Imperative. Europeans begin at first to trickle and then to pour into these vast territories already occupied by Native Americans. In this course we study and enjoy The Old West, The Horse, The Cowboy and the Tools of the Trade, The Indian and the Indian Attire, The Military Cavalry, Historical Paintings, Sculptures, Nocturnes. These are the themes of the work of this great American Master Frederic Remington. As in all my courses I seek to get us involved and as close to the subject as possible. I teach lecture courses and studios as I wish they would have been taught to me. Much of the graphic material in my lectures is taken or generated first hand directly by me on site. I teach to learn. I teach subjects as I wish they were taught to me. The Mission Statement. Education is a tool for the improvement of successive generations. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. Confucius
