*****Creative Drawing

Participants will explore one element of design each week: color, line, 
shape/ space, texture, and value. This project - oriented class will 
challenge you to think about the word “drawing” in creative ways. Great for 
the beginner as an introduction to the “elements of art” or for the stagnant 
artist as a quick jump start. No drawing skills or previous experience 
required.
Mondays 7:00-9pm 		Jan 6 - Feb 3	Cost $95
(This class is currently full. Call or email to be put on waiting list)

*********************************
*****Drawing with the Whole Brain

For adults who have always wanted to learn to draw, but felt like they 
lacked talent or confidence. This class teaches “realistic” or 
“naturalistic” drawing. Students learn that drawing well is really a matter 
of learning a new way of seeing.  (Youth accepted with permission)
Mondays 7 - 9 pm		Feb 17 - Mar 17		Cost $95

***********************
*****Art with Intention

Participants will have weekly readings, sketchbook and journaling 
assignments that help them uncover and discover an intention in their own 
art work. This class will be an exploration of voice.  Individualized 
projects will be based on the students desire to learn new media, explore a 
theme, illustrate an idea, etc. You can learn to paint in this class. Some 
previous art instruction or permission required. Fee is for 5 classes in 6 
weeks.

Thursdays 7 - 9:00pm		Jan 9 - Feb 6 				Cost $95

***********************
*****Women's Body Group

Participants will explore their thoughts, feelings, history and hopes in
relation to the their bodies. Each woman will be setting their own 
individual goals. The group will be supporting each other in clarifying, 
assessing and moving toward their individual goals. You do not have to know 
your goal “going in,” rather participants will be able to use the group as a 
way to explore their own individuality, what makes them who they are, the 
kind of experiences that have led them to their feelings about their bodies. 
Discussion topics could include aging, exercise, diet, eating, addiction, 
ailments, dressing and others.

A group is currently forming with a maximum of 10 women in each group.  The 
groups will meet for 5 weeks and will be closed to new members for that 
duration.

Sandra Ahten, group facilitator for more than four years, brings knowledge 
of body, weight, and addiction issues as well as a holistic approach to 
recovery and growth that includes self-help, spirituality, and creativity.  
Cost is $20 per session. $100 payable prior to the first session, unless 
other arrangements are made.

Thursdays 	  9am  - 10:30am		Jan.  9 - Feb. 6
