- 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa' by HokusaiE1
'The Great Wave off Kanagawa' by HokusaiIn the late Edo period, master artist Katsushika Hokusai created his most iconic collection of woodblock prints, "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," and what would go on to become one of the most reproduced artworks in history: "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." Join SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace and SCAD professor of art history Cindy Lisica, Ph.D., and dive into the wave that revolutionized art across the globe. - 'Portrait of Bartolomeo Panciatichi' by BronzinoE2
'Portrait of Bartolomeo Panciatichi' by BronzinoWhen you're the wealthiest family in Florence during the Late Renaissance, who do you choose as your official court painter? If you're the Medici, it's Agnolo di Cosimo, better known as the legendary Bronzino. As a portrait artist, he helped usher in Mannerism as the style in vogue across Europe and became the leading painter in Florence. Though often sidelined in the pages of art history, Bronzino's legacy has resurfaced in recent decades and his portraits and allegorical paintings offer keen insights into the culture of Florence at the height of its power. Join SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace and SCAD professor of art history Stephanie Kaplan, Ph.D., and unlock the business card-like messaging of Bronzino's "Portrait of Bartolomeo Panciatichi." - 'Guernica' by Pablo PicassoE3
'Guernica' by Pablo PicassoDuring the Spanish Civil War, one Basque town would fatefully become a symbol of resistance against tyranny and a clarion call for peace: Guernica. Following the terror bombing of the town, and the global outcry that followed, the 20th century's most prolific artist, Pablo Picasso, captured the intimacy, horror, and tragedy of total war for the world to grapple with for the rest of time. Join SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace and SCAD professor of art history Stephen Wagner, Ph.D., and experience Picasso's enduring masterpiece "Guernica." - Ridley Scott's 'Thelma & Louise'E4

Directed by Ridley Scott and led by one of film history's most dynamic duos, Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, "Thelma and Louise" proved to Hollywood the power of the female-centered film and its Academy Award-winning screenplay by Callie Khouri set a new standard for story structure. Hit the road with SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace and SCAD associate chair of film and television Emma McGill as they break down this cinema classic. - Steven Soderbergh's 'Traffic'E5
