==Arts and Sciences==
==Arts and Sciences==
The Arts and the Sciences encompasses all the history we learn, the skills we acquire, and the things that we make in the SCA to recreate the past. The Arts and Sciences spans all of the cultures and all of the eras around the entire world before 1600 CE. Traditionally, the focus of the SCA has been Europe from the years c. 600-1600 C.E./AD, but the starting date has always been flexible and in the last few years, the scope of the SCA has been officially expanded to enclude all pre-1600 cultures around the world.
Individual events will often have a theme revolving around a particular time and place for inspiration, but participants are not required to change their clothing or personas to match.
*Bardic Circles - usually around the campfire in the evening after feast.  Participants take turns telling period/SCA stories and songs.
*Classes - most classes are included in the cost of the event, but a few will have nominal fees for materials and handouts that students will be taking home.
*Competitions - Arts and Sciences competitions are a little like entering something at the Fair or in 4H.  They are often inspired by the event theme, but usually not rigidly so.  Common competitions styles include:
** X in any medium - where X is a motif (raven) or a color (purple) or an ideal (love) or whatever.  Entries are encouraged to reference the X creatively as they like.  Whether a poem about ravens, a tunic with purple trim, or the cradle you made for your be-LOVE-d grandchild.
** Rat out a friend - people enter things that other people made to show them off.
** Largesse - people enter items that will be given to the Crown to pass on as gifts in court and at foreign wars: pouches, award medallions, cording and woven bands in kingdom colors, sewing notions, armor findings, etc. etc.
