Stephen Torino | Spanish Teacher, Traveler

CAMBRIDGE IN 1775: A WALKING TOUR Charles Bahne | Boston Historian Cambridge was the focus of both military and political activity at the dawn of the American Revolution. Redcoats marched through the town on their way to Lexington and Concord; two months later, generals met in Harvard Square to plan for the Battle of Bunker Hill. Here George Washington formed the Continental Army, won his first victory, and dealt with his first traitor. This tour will view surviving sites of the Revolutionary War in Harvard Square, Harvard Yard, and Brattle Street, and will discuss events that occurred elsewhere in Cambridge between 1774 and 1778. Meeting point: Courtyard of 42 Brattle Street.

This talk provides both historical context and modern reflections on one of the most famous pilgrimages in the world: the Camino de Santiago. Covering the 500 mile route known as the Camino Frances from the Pyrenees Mountains to Galicia, Spain, the Camino (or The Way) is an enchanting experience that has captured the attention of authors, artists, Hollywood producers, and everyday people for centuries.

Can ethical wildlife watching and enthusiasm for nature thrive hand in hand in a time where selfies and thrill quests prevail? Absolutely yes, with a little consideration and thought, and with the bonus of increasing our sense of wonder!

For more than two centuries, Brattle Street has been one of the finest residential streets in America. In 1775, George Washington and his army made their headquarters in the abandoned mansions of seven wealthy loyalists—all of which still stand today. In the centuries since, Brattle Street residents have invented baking powder, Fig Newtons, Polaroid cameras, and Sadie Hawkins Day. On this walking tour, we will see these sites and the homes of the poets Longfellow and Lowell. Meeting point: Courtyard of 42 Brattle Street.

Charles Bahne | Boston Historian

From the 1600s to the mid-1900s, women’s contributions to Boston were often under-recognized. Who were these Bostonians and what achievements have been overlooked? Including women of mixed classes, lines of work, and domestic lives, their passions and professions ranged widely from creative survival to medicine, nutrition, education, art, literature, philanthropy, gender rights, and more. Overall, this tour acknowledges the steps these women took in making Boston and America what they are today. Meeting point: At the corner of Tremont and Court Streets, in front of the entrance to the Government Center MBTA station.

This era has many surprises. As pieces of the old Roman Empire in the west struggled for stability, monarchs such as Charlemagne the Great arose. In the east Byzantine rulers held on and even expanded. Bookish monks in the west and curious Islamic scholars in the east preserved classical learning, making some progress despite the ravages of Viking and Bulgar raiders, plagues and superstitions.

LITERATURE WHAT IS OTHELLO? Regine Vital | Literature Instructor What is Othello about? That seems a simple question, but in a 2016 essay for Shakespeare Quarterly, Ian Smith recounts an episode of a colleague’s insistence that the play wasn’t about race. Considering the pointed, vehement personal attacks hurled at him in the play, Othello’s character appears to exist in a state of blackness. But if the play isn’t, at least in part, about race, why put a black body at the its center? By exploring the idea of embodied blackness, perhaps we’ll find an answer. C O U R S E C O D E : B L AC

Anya Smolnikova | Painter, asmolnikova.wordpress.com In this immersive weeklong workshop, we will engage with fundamental ideas, learn to use essential tools and undertake skill-building exercises which lie at the foundation of the practice called drawing. Designed for those newly curious about the practice, as well as those who wish to refresh an existing one, this course will provide support, time and space for technical endeavors as well as more abstract questions: What is a line? How does perception affect the way we see? Why have humans been fascinated with making for over 30,000 years? COURSE CODE: DFWI

On Friday and Sundays, we offer Open Studio time during which participants draw from a live model. Each week, the model will hold a series of short poses ranging from 1 to 15 minutes.

Participants experience eight hours of intensive drawing. The two instructors will deliberately guide you on drawing fundamentals and thorough observation. Beginning with rudimentary exercises of “seeing” and “recording,” you will move through carefully prescribed steps to the point where you can produce sound and satisfying drawings with newly acquired skills. We will work with live models most of the time.

Through careful study of still life and landscape we will study the nature of small and large spaces and seek to recreate our sense of space through perspective, saturation of color and value contrast. Still life will act as a stage to sharpen our ability to organize an effective space so that we may apply this understanding to the great outdoors. COURSE CODE: DPCS

SIN, SALVATION, AND MOBILIZATION: SIX AMERICAN SONGS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD Christopher Stephens | Adjunct college English instructor at Northeastern The American popular song has always lived in the sacred, profane, and socially conscious. In this six week course we’ll connect the depression-era sadness of “Brother Can You Spare a Dime” with the sins of “Folsom Prison Blues.” We’ll examine how secular gospel from The Carter Family (“Will the Circle Be Unbroken”) segued into the activism of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land,” which spawned a movement that remains vital today. We’ll examine these songs and more as we gauge the temperament of the contemporary American spirit.

CELLO Cynthia Forbes | Cellist and Teacher Said to be the instrument closest to the human voice, the cello is remarkably natural to play. In this class we will learn how to hold the bow in order to produce a beautiful sound, fingerings for first position primarily, how to read in bass clef, and a basic knowledge of rhythm and harmony. We conclude with a cello party at which we will play various classical and folk melodies. B EG I N N E R COURSE CODE: CLO1

Moroccan Pots by Brett Gamache, Oil on Linen, 2018

What should students know about the Studio School at CCAE? The Studio School is made up of three dedicated instructors (Jeremy Durling, Laraine Armenti and myself); our program offers students a wide variety of art courses focusing on observational painting and drawing. It provides students a rare opportunity to experience 3 to 4 hour studio classes in a supportive, focused setting with constructive feedback from a working artist.

What are you currently working on? When the weather cooperates, I often paint on-sight at the ocean in Gloucester, when the weather is poor, I’m usually in the studio working on still lifes paintings. Currently

What are some key concepts or ideas that you want your students to take away from your classes?

I’ve been working

Teaching students to “see” is a main objective in all my classes. This includes how to
