This workshop will use an app with a bit of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the iPad to edit class and student photos. We will cover restoring old photographs, as well as removing unwanted people and features, adding images, adding text, changing background, and adjusting the exposure, texture, and color in selected areas of photos. In addition, we will briefly look at apps for creating ink drawings, cartoons, and stickers from photos, creating collages, and using new “Generative” AI for editing photos. An iPad running iPadOS 18 is required. A copy fee of $5.00 is due to the instructor at the first class. Jane Keller will be co-teaching.

If you have completed a Beginning Watercolor Class or used to paint in the past this is the class for you. I want to refresh your painting memory and give you a different way of looking for art in your world. I want to help you bring back or learn some new skills with these stepped-up classes. There will be a variety of projects and skills for you to experience, so come back to the joy you want to remember or just learn. A $5.00 copy fee will be due to the teacher in the first session of classes. You will receive a supply list, a pattern for the first session before classes start and a collage of the classes I will be teaching you.

In the workshop, students will learn about the many elements that differentiate music theater from plays and operas. During the course of the workshop, students will explore sound with movement, improve their pronunciation, further develop their vocal quality, and learn about character development. By the end of the workshop, students will have learned one to two pieces of their choosing that they will be able to perform in any place, at any time. The final class will be a recital that is open to the public.

Each week we'll paint a picture. Expect something different each week; we'll mix it up with loose and realistic painting and try different techniques. Before class you will receive an email with a sketch, a reference photo, and a list of materials (paint colors, brushes, accessories (sponge, masking fluid, etc.). Expect something different each week; we'll mix it up and do realistic painting and then loose painting. Each painter is encouraged to make the painting their own - choosing different colors, or applying their own style and perspective to the painting. Mostly we'll have fun sharing painting ideas. Prerequisites: Beginners Watercolor & Zoom Experience
