How often have you wished you had asked your parents, grandparents, or aunts and uncles about what life was like when they were younger? Young people usually don’t think to ask those questions until older loved ones are not around to answer. So, this is your chance to write down the stories of your life so that the younger generations will benefit from your wisdom, discover how you overcame difficulties or reached goals, and learn what life was like before computers and cell phones. The instructor will present topics for you to choose from, such as memories of your parents, your first job, etc., and class discussions will help spark ideas for your stories. You won’t write a complete autobiography as such, but you will wind up with a collection of memories that will become a cherished legacy for the younger generations in your family. Bring paper and a pen or a laptop if you wish, and don’t worry about spelling or grammar: It’s all about the stories! Copy fee of $1 at first class.

Assume an attitude of benevolence toward yourSELF. My hope is this course will be open, personal, and reflective, as well as chronically encouraging. This course is FOR you, ABOUT you, the topic is You. Let prudence be your guide. (The prudence of right judgement.) There are many, many other aspects about your life, your sense of "self", to talk about. I never want you to feel pressured or forced to say anything. You are free to be quiet, observe, listen, and reflect at any given time or moment. Let this be a time for peace, reflection, and reflection and appreciation for the life you've been given. When you realize who you truly are, many dissatisfactions will simply fall away.

This course will explore the ways of visually exploring the world around you. The emphasis will focus on how artists, particularly painters and photographers, have used their mediums to enhance ways of seeing. We will also touch on elements of the visual through history in philosophy, psychology and religion. The course will steer participants to utilize simple capture tools, such as their phone's camera, to put these thoughts to use in their everyday lives. No prior experience with photography is necessary, and cameras/cell phones are not required for the course.
