Pen & Ink Drawing Basics NEW!

Steadman to Katsushika Hokusai, using

both observation and imagination for

inspiration. Draw using felt-tip pens, dip

pens, and brushes for different effects.

Abstract & Non-Objective Painting

been referred to as the purest form of

art. Focusing on 20th century art as a

starting point, paint in abstract and non-

objective styles while learning design and

paint application strategies. Explore ideas

that go beyond the canvas and physical

reality and express these concepts in a

non-representational manner. Prerequisite:

and bringing the Roman Empire in the

West to its knees, the Barbarians seem

to have earned their dreadful reputation.

destroyers and savages, in reality, they

were founders of many European states—

France, Spain, and England to name a

few—and contributed to the expansion of

Christianity. Join this exciting exploration

US Constitution is the greatest document

ever written or is a document laced

with provisions that create an imperfect

Israel and Gaza: From Conflict to

Conflict NEW!

On October 7, 2023 a new chapter in

the Middle East erupted in the wake of

the mass attack by Hamas militants on

Israel, killing more than 1,200 civilians,

and leading to another round of violence.

While the scale of the attack was

unprecedented, violence between Israel

and the residents of Gaza dates back for

decades. In this class, we will examine

the historical background of the conflict

between the two sides, starting from the

first major battles in 1948. We will explore

the Palestinian narrative of loss and

displacement as their justification for their

actions on October 7, along side with the

Israeli’s fight for security and existence.

Analyze how third-parties such as the

matters in a person’s daily life; how

that impact is socially constructed both

gender permeates institutions in societies,

operating as a system of power and

reinforcing distinctions that contribute

to inequality. This course investigates

gender as it intersects with race-ethnicity,

nationality, sexuality, class, age, and

ability, to shape diverse femininities and

masculinities. In discovering the nature

of gender and by reflecting on their

unique location within power structures,

Fairy tales are complex and morally

ambiguous narratives, not the simple stuff

of “happily ever after.” In this class, we’ll

explore traditional fairy tales from many

stories reflect historical moments, cultural

values, and deep-seated fears or dreams.

Performing close readings, we’ll lift a lid on

narrative dynamics and consider whether

such tales were intended to promote social

mores or foment the revolutionary idea

of upward mobility. Finally, we’ll consider

how these tales have been adapted and

appropriated by more modern storytellers.

Consonant Leadership—Leading

Authentically According to your

Values

Are you interested in continuing to develop

as a leader so that you more consistently

lead your team members in a way that you

are proud of or that feels authentic? Do

leader and how you actually behave? Do

you avoid giving feedback even though you

feel you should, or do you lose composure

with others and wish you could stay more

poised? In this class you will learn a new

process for developing an effective yet

authentic leadership approach all your

own—base on your values. The process is

called Consonant Leadership because it

is designed to help you create alignment

between who you want to be as a leader

and how you act as a leader—so that your

leadership values and behaviors are in

harmony. TWA
