In his legendary career as a director, Alfred Hitchcock created suspenseful films filled with flawed heroes, charming villains and moral ambiguity. In this four-week online course, we’ll consider some of Hitchcock’s very best films, focusing on two films each week that share a common theme. Students should watch the films on their own; in class, we’ll look at brief film clips and discuss key elements. Join us to explore the mind of a brilliant, complicated man and the surprising, confounding, entertaining world he created on film.

In this class the students will learn how to enhance their pictures using a digital imaging program. They will learn the steps of how to crop, brighten, lighten, and generally clean up their pictures for a better presentation. The program used is Corel’s PaintShop Pro. Students will also learn how to properly scan their old photographs so they can be enhanced. In this class students will learn more about using text with their images, working with layers, straightening pictures, and using scripts to create a variety of different presentations such as color sketch or charcoal sketch of their pictures. We will also work on restoring old pictures and learn how to take someone out of a picture and put them on another picture. We will continue learning techniques to restore old photographs and learn how to create a collage with several of your pictures.

As we age and begin to think about beginning the process of getting our family’s personal and financial affairs in order, we need to be aware of the many legal issues related to those affairs.

Each session will begin with a lecture/discussion. Next, the instructor will do a live demonstration of the topics discussed. Students may choose to actively follow along, or observe during the demonstration.

Students will be directed to complete one painting in each 2-hour class period. The instructor will show the step-bystep progress, as students follow along. Each painting will be a new composition, for a total of 10 different paintings for the semester.

This workshop will look at what is new in Windows 11, what has changed, and how to set it up to make it more user   friendly.

Let’s 1) Review POTUS “Approval” history 1945-2020, 2) Explore how better voter polls are done, 3) Discuss “Pundits”, 4) Define “Generations” and 5) We will review current polls and focus on the “issues” by doing some actual in-class polls! Next, we’ll try a Corporate Assessment Model, “CAM”, a business “tool" by which we can rank the issues AND the candidates! Finally, we will do a class electoral vote prediction! Do just 6% of eligible voters actually decide an election? How can we voters be part of that 6%! A cellphone and some familiarity with Q/R codes is helpful, but not required. This is a non-partisan discussion!

This class is a literary/historical examination of the four gospels of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. We will look at who wrote them, to whom, when and why. What were their sources? We will look at similarities and differences. We will explore how they compare with similar documents of that time. I will acknowledge in the class that these books were written from specific faith perspectives, and have been preserved and handed down by the Christian church. However, I am not teaching them as devotional or sectarian books, and will not presume a religious perspective or push a religious agenda.

The Vienna Secession began in 1897 when Gustave Klimt and others chose to break away from the academic tradition. The Secession happened simultaneously with radical advances in music, architecture, and psychiatry. The movement included design and decorative arts in addition to painting and sculpture. Artists involved in the Secession include Oskar Koskoshka, Koloman Moser, Josef Hoffman, and Egon Schiele.
