Saturday

  

The art of songwriting is one that just about anyone can learn. Whether or not you’ve tried your hand at music composition in the past, this class will give you the opportunity to get creative, or receive re-assurance to continue your passion for songwriting. The class will be an interactive, exploration of songwriting, tools, techniques, including guest artists sharing their process and work. It is useful to have some playing skill with a musical instrument, such as guitar, uke, or piano, as well as some vocal ability. However, this is not a requirement – collaboration with other participants in the class is encouraged. Each class participant will write and develop a song during the session, receiving feedback and support along the way, with a final “special event” performance of our class songwriters 

FREE EVENT
This class will consist of attendees cleaning twenty million year old fossils. A power point presentation of paleontology of dinosaurs and shark teeth will be shown. Attendees also will complete a paleontology field map. The presentation will conclude with people understanding the basis of fossilization, digging up dinosaurs and documenting them.

This workshop offers an opportunity to improve your watercolor painting focusing on fundamental elements such as colors, value patterns, perspectives, and composition. It is intended for students who have experience with watercolors. Bring your own materials and reference photos. Mike gives lessons from 10:00 - 12:00, but all students contribute to the class by sharing experience, feedback and critiquing each other’s work. Students decide on their own hours to work independently or with lessons.
