Instructor: Tim de Christopher Relief carving has a rich history that spans more than 20,000 years, from prehistoric cave dwellers to modern day sculptors. Making one is a process of translating a 2-dimensional image into the illusion of 3-dimensions. From our own designs, we will translate 2dimensional drawings into 3-dimensional relief carvings through understanding such concepts as layering forms to convey space and foreshortening as it relates to relief sculpture. Students will pay an additional $20-50 for materials (stone). Tools will be provided (loaners).

The Associate Degree Nursing Program prepares you for a career as a nurse, providing patient care for adults and children in varied health care settings. You will be required to take a combination of liberal arts and clinical nursing courses in sequence over four semesters. Some students prefer to complete the program over a longer period of time. Licensed practical nurses have full responsibility for the quality of the health care they provide to patients. The LPN participates in direct nursing care including routine patient care, giving medications, administering treatments of all types, assisting with diagnostic procedures and observing and reporting patient symptoms. The 40-week long program involves at least 30 hours a week of classes, laboratory and clinical practice. At this time, employment opportunities are excellent with graduates of the GCC program experiencing 100 percent employment. A special admission process is required for both programs. Information meetings are held during the year. The schedule of meetings and additional information can be found at http://www.gcc.mass.edu/nursing/ or call (413) 775-1801.
