The date and time of this class has been changed from 3/31 to May 19 at 10am. Funerals today have come a long way since our grandparents’ time, when the only option was direct burial into the church cemetery or family graveyard. While many of us have some experience of a loved one being buried or cremated, we now have more choices for body disposition than just burial—options that are more environmentally friendly. And nothing is more environmentally friendly than a green burial. Michele Skeele will help participants discover the options for body disposition currently in practice, and some that are still up and coming, to help with the very important task of planning ahead for our deaths. Planning for the inevitable is a tremendous gift to our families and communities.

Artists have drawn and painted human figures for millennia. Figure drawing is among the hardest art forms to master, and artists need human models. This course demystifies what modeling involves and introduces some unconventional opportunities like posing as patients at medical schools, even here in Athens. Modeling types from portrait to clothed figure to costumes to nude will all be discussed, with expectations and pay for each. Attendees interested in becoming personally involved will see examples of the model types posing and will learn how to join in at their own level of comfort.

Naomi Klein’s international best-selling books include No Logo, The Shock Doctrine, This Changes Everything, Doppelgänger, and No Is Not Enough. Although I consider Klein to be one of the most important writers and thinkers of our time, not only most Americans, but also most of my OLLI students are unfamiliar with this brilliant, prophetic witness. This discussion course is for fans of Klein and those previously unaware of her work. There is no required text for the class, but I especially recommend Klein’s 2017 book No Is Not Enough. I will also be recommending various online resources.
