‘Monet’s London’: Bus Trip to Baltimore Join us as we visit the Baltimore NEW! Museum of Art’s special exhibit exploring Impressionist artist Claude Monet and his fascination with London. Starting in the 1860s French artists rejected the rigid rules of the official art world and began experimenting with light and color in an effort to make their art come alive. While most of their work focused on capturing late 19th century French culture and scenery, the Impressionists also traveled abroad in search of new vistas to paint. London’s misty atmosphere, stunning Victorian architecture and shimmering river Thames quickly became a favorite destination. Claude Monet, among others, was particularly fascinated with London and used its bridges and the Houses of Parliament as subjects for some of Impressionism’s finest masterpieces. Dr. Ken Orosz, a historian at the University of Maine, will lead our tour of this special exhibit. On the bus Dr. Orosz will provide a background presentation into the development of Impressionism, conditions in turn of the century Europe, and Monet’s fascinating personal life, before leading us through the exhibit.

Morning with the Impressionists Although today they are renowned for NEW! creating the most original shift in the art world since the Renaissance, in their own time the French Impressionists were vilified and denounced by critics and the public alike. Why? Join us as we explore the lives, art and times of these artistic revolutionaries, including Monet, Manet, Renoir, Degas, and Cassatt. Dr. Ken Orosz, a historian at the University of Maine at Farmington, will use slides and handouts to take us back 150 years to meet the Impressionists, their work and their world. Were they really poor starving artists? How did they fit into the bohemian world of 19th century France? What exactly did they contribute to the art world? If you enjoy the works of these artists or would like to learn more about them and their environment, then this mini-seminar is for you.

Structural Yoga

Dr. Harish Chandra, president of Center for Inner Sciences, facilitates a one-day seminar entitled SCOPE (Stress Control for Personal Enhancement). SCOPE takes you to the peak of your potentials with: refined performance and efficiency at work, mental peace with self and others, improved inter-personal relationships and team spirit, greater achievements in all spheres of life, and better mental and physical health. Participants engage in theoretical topics and practical exercises designed to help achieve a relaxed, stress-free life! Topics include: mental fatigue and stress, tackling stress through simple measures, light body exercises, simple and effective breathing exercises, quick relaxation techniques, and muting incoming stressors.

This translates to a way of teaching that invites the body to find its own optimal way of moving and building strength. Participants are gently invited to find their own yogic path that carries them through personal challenges and onto a path of spiritual growth and transformation. No experience necessary.

Self Enrichment

Prior to July 5, 1954, American popular music was a benign melange of genres including country, rhythm and blues and pop. Then came the Big Bang of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley’s recording of “That’s All Right, Mama”. It’s been 50 years since his seismic explosion into mass consciousness, and the universe of popular culture has never been the same. How did this music that first gave young people an identity and culture separate from their parents come to have such a global impact? Jeff McKee will trace the conception, birth and awkward growth spurts of the art form that was created in equal parts by an almost accidental cross pollination of cultures and a premeditated exploitation of teenage joy and angst. Along the way we’ll meet the forgotten forefathers, one hit wonders and superstars of the first 25 years of Rock and Roll. We’ll see how different styles of music such as Blues, Folk, Garage Band, Psychedelic and what is called the Singer-songwriter period all got mixed into the melting pot of Rock and Roll. We’ll discuss the essential Rock and Roll singles, albums, movies, album cover art and we’ll have special features on the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. This class will be an interactive, multimedia opportunity for all ages to learn and experience the joy of this music that changed the world.

Can psychology teach us to be better photographers? Yes! Psychologists have been studying creativity for over fifty years, and the results of their studies can be applied to enhance photographic creativity. In this course the focus will be on how these findings can teach us to be better photographers. The class will enable students to more effectively and creatively express themselves in the photographs that they take. Photography assignments, creativity exercises, and review of student photos will be a regular part of the course. Photography field trips will be conducted to put into practice what has been learned in class. Students will need their own cameras (digital or film types are acceptable) and any other photography equipment they wish to use. This is not a class on technique–participants should have a good working knowledge of how their camera works or have completed an introductory photography course.

Establishing Self Esteem Have you ever found yourself saying, “I can’t do that” or wondering why you don’t feel successful? Do you often wonder who you really are, where you are going, or what your real life’s purpose is? If any of these reflect your thoughts, this course should help you. Unfortunately, too many people regardless of their age, income, or education, worry about failure, doubt their strengths, feel unfocused and insecure, are overly self-critical and stop short of getting what they want in life. Why? Because of poor self-esteem, which ends up affecting everything they do, think, or say. Dates: Thursdays and Fridays, Oct. 20–28 Time: 5:30–8:30 p.m. CRN: 50180 CEUs: 1.2 Fee: $99 Instructor: E.
