All Skill Levels, Young Adults & Adults

Instructor: Chester Kasnowski

This workshop focuses on understanding art using recent neuroscience discoveries on how our visual system functions. The Renaissance artists, 600 years ago, intuitively created advanced visual techniques like, linear perspective, sfumato, and the golden section all of which are still in use today. The reason those techniques have endured is because the visual results give pleasure to the viewer. Now we have neuroscience studies show that the human brain has visual brain centers that signal to us images that give us pleasure or cause rejection. These are automatic responses like breathing. Having a knowledge of visual systems neuroscience findings will allow us to explore paintings for more attractive elements and identify those images or elements that are automatically rejected. We need to use the standard art elements like line, color, value, act., but we will focus on using neuroscience ideas like ‘the law of peak shift’, ‘the law of grouping’ and others to see art in new ways.  No painting skills required.

Is your fancy digital camera still on auto, just like it was the day you took it out of the box? Does trying to read the techno-jargon in your camera’s manual make you want to pull your hair out? Today’s digital cameras offer the photographer a variety of functions and features that can lead to stunning photographs, however their options, modes, and settings can also prove baffling to the beginner. Naturally, understanding how to use your camera is the first step in taking better photos. Your teacher will help guide you through what you need to know to operate your camera as a photographer, what is redundant, and what is useless! Once you can operate your camera you can start thinking like a photographer and start capturing quality images. Together we will explore camera functionality such as setting proper exposure, using various shooting modes, freezing and blurring motion, and adding creativity to your photos by controlling depth of field. You’ll also benefit from many professional tips and tricks provided throughout the class that can make learning photography even more fun!

Online Therapeutic Yoga with Marilyn 

All Skill Levels (Ages 16+ Adult)
Curious about the difference between yoga and yoga therapy?  Both a yoga class and yoga therapy session are valid and valuable, but they are different. A yoga class focuses on the techniques or yoga practice. When clients see a yoga therapist or a therapeutic group, it’s usually not to learn about yoga but to get help with or relief from some symptom or health condition that is bothering them.  Yoga therapeutic methods are based on the principles of yoga, scientific data, and the experience of yoga teachers.  The client is the focus as well as how yoga techniques can help the client feel better or improve their function.  Clients can participate in one-on-one individualized sessions or in a group session where clients have similar conditions or a variety of conditions.  After an intake and assessment, the yoga therapist focuses on the client’s specific symptoms and identifies methods to help them manage those symptoms in subsequent sessions. The yoga therapist also empowers clients to take an active role in their self-care, to help them overcome challenges, and gain independence. No prior experience necessary.
