Online courses require an internet connection and the ability to interact both through audio and video using either a web cam/microphone, speakers/headset using a computer or via a mobile phone connection.

The Old Kingdom was the matrix of the entire Egyptian culture which lasted 3000 years. They were the first people on earth to create a nation-state and they developed characteristic ideas and patterns which were modified over the years, but never fundamentally changed. This course will reconstruct the political, social and economic history of the Old Kingdom by looking at the archaeological evidence found in architecture, literature and art.

Supply List
- Acrylic paints: recommended are artist or professional grade acrylics. Some of my favorite brands are Liquitex, Golden, Blick studio, Masters touch (Hobby Lobby), Artist Loft (Michaels) brand. I wouldn’t recommend using cheap craft paint for this class to get best results although if that’s what you only have, it’s okay to use for learning and practice. Recommended colors: Titanium white, Ivory Black, Cadmium red, Quinacridone red or Permanent Rose or Alizarin crimson, Cadmium yellow, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna (brown), Hooker's Green or Sap Green Optional colors: Prussian Blue, Viridian Green, any other favorite colors you want to bring

This art course takes inspiration from seasonal landscapes – a perfect way to appreciate the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. With step-by-step instructions and lots of exercises, students will learn to draw and paint from their reference. This course will take students through the basics of acrylic painting, starting with the types of materials and tools that one can use, to the techniques in handling the medium. Students will learn about value, basic composition, color mixing, blending and the mechanics of acrylics. Approaches such as "wet in wet" and working in layers will be introduced. With demonstrations and individual guidance, students will be able to start working on their own piece at their own pace. This course will equip students with basic knowledge and understanding of the medium.
