Arts and
Culture
Art Appreciation: Modern
Art (ages 16+)
Instructor: Larisa Morano
The development of Modern Painting. The story of Modern Art is a visual
record of significant changes and upheavals in Western Civilization –
from the French Revolution to World War II, with many scientific and
social advancements in between. During ten weeks of beautiful images, we
will see how and why painting styles, and the art world’s notion of
painting as a whole, underwent an “extreme makeover” over the course of
a century. From Neoclassicism, through the Impressionists, to Jackson
Pollock, you will be very ‘in the know’ at your next museum or gallery
visit!

Fiber Arts
Weaving: Beginners &

Instructor: Cherri Hankins

Over and under, ‘round and ‘round, in no time at all, my warp is
wound!!
This new class is an opportunity to
build a community of weavers. As students work on their own
projects, lives begin to intertwine and mingle. Friendships are
formed and the fabric of our lives and our own weavings are
enriched. The work you take away from this class will be a
‘marker’ of this time in your life.
Beginners will learn to dress the floor
loom and weave off a simple fabric of their choice. Students who
have woven before will choose their projects. Weaves to consider
are double weave, huck and overshot. Students can expect to
complete a beginner piece in a 4-week session. A single session
of weaving is a great opportunity for a beginner to ‘test the
waters’ and see if weaving is all that they thought it would be.
It is also perfect for folks who have woven in the past but need
a refresher on how to dress the loom. Intermediate students will
want to book several sessions for larger projects. Students
wishing to work on long-term projects must book consecutive
sessions. Materials: Cost of
materials will vary depending on the project chosen. All
materials are available for purchase at the studio, or students
may contact instructor for recommendations if you wish to bring
your own.Location: This
class is offered off-site, in the teaching studio of Cherri

This class is all about knowing how to better understand
why you missed what you missed and how to "get it" more
consistently. Students will be learning the ins and
outs of the 35mm camera, basic lighting and exposure
concepts, and the beginnings of composition. The
emphasis will be on the camera as a tool to create the
image you intended. Each student must have a camera
that can be used in a manual mode, whether digital or
film. An SLR (single lens reflex) camera is not
required, but is highly recommended. There will be some
shooting exercises and students will be expected to
share their work, ask questions, offer advice, and enjoy
themselves!

settings on your camera including aperture, ISO, depth of
field, and exposure. Students will be required to bring
their work to class for explanation and critique. All
students must have access to an SLR camera, either digital
or film. We'll be having a blast with a variety of shooting
assignments meant to dive deeper in to how we and the camera
"see" to make your particular ideas come alive in the final
image.

Virginia H: You end up
with a piece of ART! The process is a lot easier than I expected

them for gifts and to hang in my own home.
Nicole M.: I had a ton of fun

the necessary equipment to do it at home. I've used it for
wall hangings, cards and other gifts for friends. I'd
