$30 – In addition to his better-known oil paintings, Vincent van Gogh produced nearly 150 watercolor paintings during his life. Though often lacking his distinctive brush stroke textures, the watercolors are unmistakably Van Gogh in their use of bold, vibrant color. Students will use the palette colors of Van Gogh to create watercolor backgrounds with their own silhouettes on top.

$95 – Try your hand at this super fun form of the short story! Sometimes called flash fiction, sudden fiction, or micro-fiction, short stories that get the job done fast are of growing interest to current writers and publishers. We’ll read from some of the masters of the form – from Hemingway’s famous six-word story to fictions closer to one-thousand words by Lydia Davis, Rick Moody, Antonya Nelson, and others. We’ll spend some time figuring out what makes these stories tick, and we’ll do lots of in-class writing to produce our own flash fictions. The final class will be run as a writers’ workshop, in which students will receive feedback from both the teacher and their peers.

$30 – Friedensrich Hundertwasser was one of the most famous artists of Austria during the 20th century. Hundertwasser had a long-standing philosophy regarding human being’s five layers of skin.  His structuring of these layers, and utilization of them, gave poignant clarity to his messages of social and environmental justice. Using his aversion to the straight line and use of bright colors, students will create their own five skins using ink and oil pastels.
