WELCOME TO THE SPRING 2012 CONTINUING EDUCATION CATALOG FOR PERSONAL ENRICHMENT “The real problem of leisure time is how to keep others from using yours.” ~Arthur Lacey We know you don’t have a lot of leisure time, and that you value what you do have more now than ever before. The UNLV Division of Educational Outreach keeps that in mind as we develop Continuing Education classes for you to be more knowledgable and marketable or to learn something fun. Continuing Education offers 140 professional development courses, 130 personal enrichment courses, 24 professional certificate programs, and 16 online workforce training programs. We have assembled a group of instructors who have distinguished themselves in their professions and deliver quality instruction and course content. Year after year, the majority of our students rate the knowledge of instructors and course content as excellent on a consistent basis. For personal enrichment, you will find numerous classes in personal growth, health and fitness, as well as extensive travel and exploring trips to various locations for both educational and vacational purposes. All activities, workshops, and courses are provided in a leisurely and relaxed environment. This semester we are pleased to offer new and different types of courses: stress management for caregivers, small business success boot camp, cabintery for the home, and an exploratory trip to the China Ranch Date Farm. These courses and others will provide you with an engaging and inspiring Continuing Education experience. We thank you in advance for spending some of your leisure time with us. Sincerely,

Margaret N. (Peg) Rees Vice Provost for Educational Outreach

What they’re saying about Alice Whitfield: I took Alice’s introductory course through UNLV in Nov. of 2009 and continued for several months in her master class. She gives a first rate introduction to the field of voice overs. As a determined student I welcomed the fact that her standards were high and that I would soon have a good foundation for deciding whether or not to pursue voice overs further. Even if you take her course simply from curiosity, be prepared for a challenge, for a crash education and if the stars and hard work align, the launch of a satisfying new career. Alex MacDonald

Acting & Film RADIO & TV VOICE-OVER WORKSHOP If radio and TV commercial voice-overs were that easy, more people would be doing them. If you are serious about finding out if you have what it takes to make it in this lucrative and highly competitive industry, this course is for you. Contrary to what you might think, voice-over has very little to do with your voice! It’s being able to read a script and make it sound like you’re not reading. This fourweek course is not for the faint of heart. It is conducted and taught exactly the way the business runs in the real world. FYI: There is a huge difference between local and national level of voice-over performers. So, to give yourself the best opportunity of competing in any of the voice-over markets (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and all regions in between), it is important to learn the business from someone who is in it on a national level. Your instructor is one of the most sought-after voice-over coaches for many top New York and Hollywood celebrities. She frequently commutes between Las Vegas and Los Angeles to coach stars such as King of Queens co-star Leah Remini, among many others. Her book, Take It From The Top!, is suggested reading for this course.

HOW TO MAKE A (CHEAP) FEATURE FILM IN TWO WEEKENDS Have you dreamed of making a low-budget movie, but assumed you didn’t have enough time, money, or know how? This course will show you how to make an ultra-ULTRA low budget independent movie you can film in four days. Former Hollywood screenwriter of Quigley Down Under and L.A Law, Emmy-winner John Hill will show you some tricks of the trade in how to plan, write, and film a movie in two weekends, for close to no money. The instructor brought his years of screenwriting and production experience to his recent ultra-low-budget movie, The Great White Loan Shark, an 82-minute feature he wrote, directed, and filmed in ONE day. He’ll show it in class and share what he learned in making it. He can show you how to make a movie! C121PH1140 John Hill Tue. 7:15-9pm, Mar. 27-May 1 UNLV Frank & Estella Beam Hall (BEH) Room 242 $185 (6 sessions)

THE EXPRESSIVE ACTOR, INTEGRATED VOICE MOVEMENT & ACTOR TRAINING Featuring the Lugering Method: the Lugering Method explores the integrated manner in which mental and emotional content are expressed through the body and voice. The goal is an expressive actor capable of a vivid, powerful and artful expression of thought and feeling that is spectacularly human and rarely demonstrated in daily living. Expression is viewed as a highly specialized type of physical action in which energy, orientation, size, progression, flow, direction, speed, weight, control and focus are structured and shaped to reveal the content of our thoughts and feelings. The result is a synthesis of the mind and the body in the sensuous expression of thought and feeling. Whether the actor is working on expressing love or loss, resonance or range, alignment or flexibility, the Principles of Expression have a similar and consistent application. These principles transcend any specific acting style, focusing on universal aspects of human expression present in all drama form Shakespeare to Simon, Wycherley to Wasserstein, Moliere to Mamet. For more information visit the website at www. expressiveactor.org.

STONE CARVING Do you feel connected to the mountains that surround us and feel adventurous? Explore the direct carving method of working with stone, which means that you do not work from models or sketches.

Use of studio tools is included. You will need to bring protective eyeglasses or safety goggles to the first class. Expect to pay approximately $70â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$100 for the stone you choose to work with. Your instructor has been sculpting for 40 years and teaching for 30. She has exhibited her work throughout the United States, including one woman and group shows. She is now in Las Vegas, working out of her studio in the Downtown Arts District.

Glass Art Studio, 4310 Cameron St. #3, 89103 $139 Includes supplies (6 sessions)

What theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying about Sharon Gainsberg: I heard about the Stone Carving course from the UNLV Continuing Education catalog. I am a retired civil engineer and had previously worked with rock tunnels in Alaska. Also, I made a study of the strength of Topopah Tuff Rock in Western Nevada for my 2009 Ph.D. dissertation at the Howard Hughes College of Engineering at UNLV. Having worked with rocks for many years, I thought it would be great to learn how to carve stone sculptures, and the UNLV Continuing Education course provided the opportunity. I learned the techniques of stone sculpturing in the course that was held at the Sharon Gainsburg Studio. The primary tool that I used was a toothed chisel, which was said to be the favorite tool of Michelangelo, who carved the marble stature of David in Italy, 1501-1504 AD. I also learned how to use rasps, saws and sanding blocks. Thank you Gainsburg Studio and the UNLV Continuing Education program for the great course in Stone Sculpturing. Jim Nott, Ph.D.

BASIC WOODWORKING

INTERMEDIATE WOODWORKING

NEW - CABINETRY FOR THE HOME

Even if you’ve never touched a hammer before, learn how to work with wood safely, and with artistic vision. You will learn how to setup, use and maintain all of the major woodworking tools including the tablesaw, jointer, planer, drill press, bandsaw, and stationary belt sander. Classes will meet in a well-equipped woodshop, featuring a SawStop tablesaw, two jointers, 24” planer, wide board sander and much more! During the course of the six classes, you will complete three projects designed to teach practical use of the tools. Upon completion, you will feel confident enough to not only use all of these tools, but to make wise purchases of your own tools. Master woodworker, Jamie Yocono, has a BS in Furniture Design and has developed and taught woodworking and furniture making courses since 1995. She is the owner and operator of Wood It Is!, a woodworking studio and school that she opened in 2006.

Becoming a good woodworker isn’t about taking a course and learning to assemble things. It is about developing techniques to help you build the pieces you design. This course will allow you to add to your woodworking bag of tricks - teaching you some new joinery and skills that will dress up your future projects. These include cutting compound miter joints (and making a very special project with what you learn!), machining finger joints, mortise and tenon joinery, cutting tapers, working with plastic laminate and much more. We’ll complete a few simple projects designed to help you practice your newly learned skills. This is an excellent follow-up course to Basic Woodworking and very highly recommended. Prerequisite: Basic Woodworking.

If you want to remodel or add on to your existing kitchen or bathroom cabinets, this class is for you! Learn the correct way to make built-in kitchen and bath cabinets. Drawer construction, door making and countertop fabrication will also be covered. You will complete a small cabinet in this class, with either doors or drawers, time permitting. Basic Woodworking is a prerequisite to this class.

What they’re saying about Jamie Yocono: My wife and I have been taking UNLV continuing education courses since 1999, mostly geology related field trips. We are both 58, and while she has many hobbies and interests that serve her in retirement, I never cultivated any physical hobbies. That is until I signed up for a UNLV course in Basic Woodworking. This was stepping out of the box for me, but professional woodworker and instructor Jamie Yocono is a terrific teacher. I was making beautiful wood products within weeks. Jamie keeps her classes small, and has a keen eye for her students and the attention each person might need. You not only learn the proper use of the tools, but how to construct a piece that utilizes the wood to its greatest potential. I can’t say enough about Jamie and her courses. She opened up a whole new world to me.

NEW - ANTARCTIC CRUISE (An Active Adventure) A visit to mysterious and vast Antarctica is a visit to the very ends of the earth. This is a land of glittering ice, majestic peaks and dazzling beauty.

This is a fun and exciting ensemble to work with, energetically stimulating and theraputic for those who would like to release some stress. All we ask is that you bring a good attitude and enthusiasm to the group. All instruments are provided.

CULTIVATING WELLNESS THROUGH GARDENING “I will never smell a lilac without remembering walking to my childhood home’s back door underneath a trellis that was weighed down with lilac blooms cascading in midair, swinging like aromatic bells from their slender stems. The fragrance of lilac connects me to the essence of home. Vertical connections thread the past with the present and can penetrate the moment.” (Wydra, 1997, p.7) Horticultural therapy is a creative approach to helping people feel better by improving their quality of life. Many have born witness to the pleasurable benefits of convening with nature by means of the garden. A garden brings the colors, scents and sounds of nature to our doorstep in the most accessible way.

Information is also automatically entered into data files while interviews are being conducted. CSC also maintains a system that creates paper surveys in which information can then be scanned into the computer, eliminating manual data entry. In addition to optical mark recognition (e.g., Scantron forms), this system also provides hand print (ICR), machine print (OCR), and barcode recognition. The CATI system and the scanner system enable CSC to design and execute surveys in a timely manner, save your organization money, and improve data accuracy.
