Studies have shown that the wrong paint colors are one of the top five reasons that people will not be interested in a home.

Students who have completed The Power of Art (Part 1) may continue with Part 2. You have become familiar with several of the great artists. In this next class, the curriculum will focus on the elements and principles of art. These are the basic ingredients in creating any work of art. Each week, we will explore one of these elements and principles, touch on artists who embraced them and complete a related art project. You may want to pursue a career in creating and selling your art or use art as a calming hobby to offset work responsibilities and life’s demands. Art is powerful in reducing anxiety and increasing coping skills. It promotes well-being, improves communication and helps those involved to express feelings and thoughts, also enhancing self-esteem and self-awareness. “I found I could say things with color & shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.” Georgia O’Keefe Students are required to bring an oversized shirt or paint smock. We will be working with paint, glue, Sharpie markers, scissors etc. It is also recommended to wear old clothes and shoes that one need not worry about becoming a work of art too!

THE PRESIDENT’S CLUB
President’s Club lecture program is based on the best selling book (of the same name) by journalist/historians Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy. Looking at the relationships (both public and private) between current and former Presidents, it began when Harry Truman called on Herbert Hoover to help him address problems in post-WWII Europe and convince Republicans to support his initiatives. The stories will continue through the complicated working relationship between Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Perhaps the most surprising story will be the activities and clandestine impact of Richard Nixon after he resigned the Presidency.

To help ensure security, a password to enter the Zoom session will be provided to assist with these measures. Directions on use can be found on the CLC website: www.clcillinois. edu/student-services/tutoring-andacademic-support/succeed/lancerskeep-learning.
7. What is important for me to remember for synchronous online classes?
Check your CLC email for details about delivery from your instructor. Take a look at the location and time settings on your computer and email accounts. Since courses are delivered at a specific time, it is important that your device reflects the accurate time zone.
8. Why are some classes moved to an online format, but others are not?
We are committed to providing the best quality instruction that complies with industry standards. Some courses, such as those requiring proctored final exams, are not compatible with our online learning methods at this time.

“I just missed being killed by about three seconds.” – Christine Burke praising CLC’s defensive driving course. Christine Burke of Lake Barrington enrolled in our Defensive Driving Course. While driving less than a week later, she used a lesson from the course to narrowly avoid getting smashed broadside by a car that ran a red light. Burke said that she hesitated at the intersection, recalling a tip she learned in the defensive driving course called “delayed acceleration” waiting two or three seconds before entering an intersection if yours is the first car there. She credits this decision with saving her life.
