#LearnSomethingNew

Communiversity at the University of Cincinnati offers convenient and innovative classes designed to boost your career and enrich your life.

We live in a seeking society. We seek recognition. Seek new skills. Seek to save time. Seek to focus. Seek to try new things. Although your life is a continuous journey, how often are you seeking out opportunities to learn something new? Henry Ford said, “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.” Your whole life is an education and learning opportunities are all around– you simply have to seek it. Whether 2019 is the year you seek to develop your financial strategy, discover your creativity, explore the U.S. west in an RV, or learn to meditate; we hope you look to Communiversity to develop the skills you need to achieve your learning goals. Never stop learning, exploring, growing, or seeking.

Classes are noncredit, informal and fun! Online and face-to-face class options. 2

An 85-year partnership with the

CINCINNATI OBSERVATORY Communiversity is proud to continue the tradition of partnering with the Observatory and looks forward to celebrating another 175 years!

The Cincinnati Observatory celebrates its 175th year of rich history and connection to the University of Cincinnati. Since the oldest public telescope in the U.S. was placed on Cincinnati’s Mount Lookout hill in 1873, the Cincinnati Observatory has inspired generations to look at the stars and take an interest in the universe around them. Aside from the antiquity of the site, the Observatory’s partnership with UC also dates back generations. UC and the Observatory have partnered to offer for-credit courses since 1933 and, before the Observatory was open to the public, it offered access to the public through Communiversity courses. “The Observatory serviced over 31,000 visitors in 2017, and almost half of these were adults,” Ventre said. “Consequently, our mission and vision dovetails very well with the mission and vision of the UC Communiversity and their adult students.” SEE PAGE 10 FOR ALL ASTRONOMY COURSES OFFERED AT THE CINCINNATI OBSERVATORY Call (513) 556-6932, visit uc.edu/ce/commu or

ACCOUNTING & FINANCE

NEW! THE ANALYSIS AND VALUATION OF STOCKS

Please note: Our seminars are educational in nature. The University does not endorse or promote any products, strategy, or views. Any presented are those of the instructor only.

This course is a comprehensive course designed to provide you with conventional and advanced techniques in researching and valuing stocks. Starting off with the basics, you will learn how to read financial statements and calculate financial ratios, and then move on to perform industrial comparisons, value stocks, and conduct economic and industrial research. This course is taught in a manner that uses everyday language, simple, yet insightful analogies, and a just the facts attitude that you will understand and appreciate. By the end of this course, you will have a strong foundation in the analysis and valuation of stocks.

NEW! PERSONAL MONEY MANAGEMENT Do you struggle with managing your money? Is paying off debt and saving a challenge for you? This course establishes a plan for your money so you can immediately begin making progress towards your personal and financial goals. You will learn how to easily establish a working budget, emergency funds, and other guidelines that will leave you confident and in control. Stop procrastinating when it comes to your money and start making progress now! Instructor: David Shields Tuesdays, January 15–29, 3 weeks, 6:30–8:30 pm, $65

NEW! DEVELOP YOUR FINANCIAL STRATEGY During our busy lives, we have a tendency to collect investments or financial products randomly and lose sight of the overall financial strategy. Organizing your financial portfolio may provide you with more stability, focus and success. This workshop will teach you about investing, help you create strategies for your portfolio; set short, interim and long-term goals; and potentially gain tax advantages for today and the long term. Ultimately, the goal is for you to have a better probability of achieving your goals during and beyond your working years and work successfully through your life-stage milestones. Instructor: Glynnis Reinhart, RICP Thursday, January 31, 6:30–8:30 pm, $29

NEW! ESTATE PLANNING WITH A HEART This practical, sensitive workshop helps you face the difficult process of centralizing financial, legal and personal information so family and friends can take care of you and know how you would like end-of-life issues handled. During this workshop, we will cover estate planning documents, review the importance of Powers of Attorney, and you will receive the Family Love Letter guidebook, which will organize the details of your will, social security benefits, passwords to your computer/online accounts, and many other practical details. Instructor: Glynnis Reinhart, RICP Thursday, February 7, 6:30–8:30 pm, $29

NEW! CHANGE YOUR MONEY STORY Some people, no matter what they do, keep finding themselves in debt, and many people make financial decisions out of fear. Instead, invest a small amount of time to understand the emotions that cause debt, unconscious spending or a lack of wealth accumulation that keep you stuck. During this class, you will learn strategies to save your way out of debt and create saving strategies for today and tomorrow. You will discover how to align your resources with your deepest desires and aspirations, and set yourself on a path where you control your money - not the other way around. By the end of this class, you will have new tools empowering you to stand confident in your new money story and have the ability to make financial decisions with ease.

PAINTING CLASSES

NEW! MONET’S “WEEPING WILLOW”

Instructor: Kevin McCarty Our classes are appropriate for beginners, but also geared to intermediate students who have attended by classes in the past. One gallery-wrapped, stretched 11 x 14” fine art canvas, a set of brushes, and a full set of acrylic paints in a broad spectrum of colors are included in the class fee. Take home your original piece of art ready for framing!

Weeping willows were among Monet’s favorite trees and planted several in his vast compound in Giverny. Monet painted ten weeping willow paintings by 1919, as a mournful response to World War I. Monet’s Weeping Willow lacks straight lines, and the shapes have no definite borders. The colors fade from one image to the next with a wide range of light and dark shades. Learn Monet’s technique of layering of the oils which gives his paintings a raised texture that appears smooth to the eye and discover his use of light to create an uneven feel in the art. Although the painting depicts nature, Monet’s Weeping Willow is more concerned with conveying emotion with his swirling, agitated forms and the obvious contrast between dark and light. Saturday, February 23, 12–4 pm, $89

NEW! A LOOK AT ENGLISH WATERCOLORISTS

NEW! WATERCOLOR PAINTING WORKSHOP: STORM AT THE MOUTH OF THE GRAND CANAL, VENICE Joseph Mallard William Turner was a virtuoso watercolorist who is famous for his expressive colorization and his ability to capture the elusive and volatile atmosphere of nature. He broadly applied atmospheric washes of paint in his paintings. This technique, as well as the intense, evanescent light in his works, placed Turner in the vanguard of English art. Learn about his history, his influence on art in the world today, while practicing colorization and the techniques of Turner’s painting style. The immediacy of the watercolor medium is challenging but well suited to capturing atmospheric effects. With or without painting experience, you can do it!

The late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries saw the emergence of painters who used watercolors to sublime effect. Come to this class to reproduce a few of these paintings, using your innate creativity and learning new skills to create similar art in a more modern context. Learn about the development and changes of watercolor painting during these centuries by exploring paintings by famous artists such as Thomas Girtin, John Constable, and J.M.W. Turner. Learn through discussion, demonstration, hands-on experience, and individual coaching, techniques in watercolor painting, while at the same time experiencing the joy of painting and self-expression. The immediacy of the watercolor medium is challenging but well suited to capturing atmospheric effects. Saturday, March 16, 12–4 pm, $89

Saturday, December 8, 12–4 pm, $85

NEW! REMBRANDT SELF-PORTRAIT AS ZEUXIS LAUGHING One of the most revered artists of all time, Rembrandt is famous for his work, with his greatest creative triumphs being self-portraits, illustrations of biblical scenes and etchings/portraits of his 17thcentury contemporaries. In this class, you will create your own version of Rembrandt’s self-portrait as Zeuxis, a Greek artist who lived in late 5th century BC. Zeuxis reputedly died from excessive laughing when painting an old woman who wanted to look like Aphrodite. However, in this painting, Rembrandt appears to be laughing both at himself and with the viewer. Saturday, January 19, 12–4 pm, $89

ASTRONOMY

STARGAZING 101

The Cincinnati Observatory strives to share the universe and our historic site with all our visitors, and to comply with ADA guidelines, will make all reasonable accommodations to ensure a positive experience when visiting the Observatory. However please note that there are limitations imposed by our architecture, being a National Historic Landmark, and our being a functioning astronomical observatory. The physical act of getting to the telescope’s eyepiece for viewing can also be an issue. The eyepieces on our two main telescopes can be anywhere from 4 feet to over 14 feet above the floor, which typically requires climbing a stepped platform to reach.

Constellations change in the heavens from season to season. In this class you will study the imaginative figures we call constellations. Learn to use a planisphere to find any constellation at any given time and date. If the weather is clear, we will go outside to find many of the brighter constellations; and you will also have the option of looking through the observatory telescope. Instructor: Dean Regas Wednesday, February 27, 7–9 pm, $35

HOW TO USE YOUR TELESCOPE

TOUR OF THE UNIVERSE Explore space from the Earth and beyond! Fly past the moon, the planets, the stars, and galaxies to the edge of what is known. Bring your questions about the Cosmos, and our Observatory Scientist will answer as many as he can. View through the oldest operational telescope in the country, weather permitting. Ad Astra! Instructor: Aaron Eiben Wednesday, March 6, 7–9 pm, $35

BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE OBSERVATORY Look to the heavens through the oldest continuously used telescope in the world; explore the depths of the 1873 observatory including its attic and basement; and learn why President Adams laid the observatory’s original cornerstone in 1843. Hear the fascinating history of the founding of the observatory; investigate how the 19th century astronomers determined time for the city of Cincinnati; discover why the observatory was designated a National Historic Landmark; and find out what is in store for the future. The Moon will be viewed through the telescope following the program, weather permitting. Instructor: John Ventre Wednesday, February 13, 7–9 pm, $35

Do you have a telescope sitting in the closet or over in the corner and you would love to use it if you only knew how? Do the dials and knobs leave you mystified? Intimidated? Which end do you look through? There are all of these various pieces that do what? Perhaps you know how your telescope works (sort of), but you’re not sure what to do with it. You say you can find the Moon, but beyond that, the telescope won’t cooperate. Fear not! The answers are all here. However, much you know or don’t know about YOUR telescope, I guarantee you will leave with enough knowledge to take on your scope, one-on-one, and come out victorious. We start with the sky and end with your eye. Your telescope will forever be your friend (until you get a bigger friend!). Bring your telescope along, cardboard spyglass or Hubble wannabe, and we’ll make this a hands-on learning experience. Instructor: Dave Bosse Wednesday, December 5, 7–9 pm, $35

HOLISTIC WELLNESS TRIGGER POINT & MYOFACIAL RELEASE TREATMENT Many people suffer from sensitive spots in muscle, known as “trigger points.” Self-treatment has the potential to quickly, cheaply, and safely help with common pain problems in your low back, hip, and neck. Myofascial Release Treatment is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. In this class, you will learn the necessary methods to relieve pain and destroy those nasty knots in the soft tissue. This is a hands-on workshop, and each Myofascial Release Treatment is performed directly on the skin without oils, creams or machinery. You will leave with the general knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and the skills to perform healing on yourself and others. Instructor: Kristy Brandabur Location: Metamorphosis: Holistic Wellness Center, LLC Saturday, February 9, 11 am–2 pm, $45 SPECIAL OFFER: Bring your spouse or partner to this workshop for a special Valentine’s Day afternoon and at a reduced rate!

HEART OF MEDITATION: THE BASICS Learning to meditate, we have access to a clarity and contentment rarely available when our minds are busy and distracted. We will explore the teachings and techniques which have been at the heart of the Buddhist tradition for 2500 years: awareness, concentration, insight, and mindfulness and the teachings that are supported by those practices. If you are learning how to meditate for the first time, you will find a firm foundation here. If you are a seasoned meditator who wants to review the basics simply and profoundly, welcome back!

NEW! ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE: AN ANTIDOTE TO EVERYDAY STRESS Everyday habits of posture and movement often put undue stress on muscles, bones and joints – which can cause or aggravate backache, stiff necks, sore joints and a host of other complaints.

Grounded on basic principles of motion, bearing and coordination, the technique empowers people to go about their daily activities with ease and stamina, and to cope with work or performance related challenges with poise and composure.

NEW! ACTIVE RELAXATION: A CORE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE PRACTICE If you’re thinking that seems like a contradiction in terms, it may be that you are confusing relaxing with collapsing (as in after a hard day with a nice chardonnay…) but, the secret to garnering the true benefits of relaxation lies in resting with true postural support. Alexander Technique based Constructive Rest is an active relaxation practice that helps to let go of tension and feel newly energized. When practiced daily for about 10-15 minutes, the body learns to appreciate this condition of fully-supported optimallength and to extend its benefits to support all types of common or specialty activities.

Jaded Fork is offering two new classes, Kitchen Basics and Pan to Plate, at Women in the Marketplace’s kitchen located at 15 East Court Street. Both classes introduce the concept of mise en place, a French culinary phrase meaning, “everything in its place.” The mise en place philosophy can help a home cook, event host, or even a grocery shopper have a seamless experience—even during big holidays! Although our location is at Women in the Marketplace, both men and women are invited to attend! Also, check out our new bread classes which will be hosted at this location!

It is the most accepted test in the world; and Internet-based testing has made it even more accessible. This course will help you prepare to take the TOEFL as you focus on the main features of the test, test-taking strategies, exercises, and practice. We will cover the types of skills evaluated by the various sections of the test, including reading, listening, writing and speaking.

LSAT PREPARATION The key to success on the Law School Admission Test is practice, strategy, and timing. Delve into a detailed analysis of each LSAT problem type: reading comprehension, analytical reasoning, and logical reasoning. By discussing the problems and explanations, you’ll develop the ability to approach the LSAT as a series of intellectual games to which you can apply strategies studied in class. You will also benefit from the instructor’s critique of your LSAT writing samples. The course culminates in a full-length mock exam. Using actual questions from previous tests, under timed conditions, will prepare you for the real environment. In addition, and outside of classroom hours, the instructor offers individualized assistance with the personal statement essay required for all law school applications.
