This online art course will introduce students to basic concepts of depicting landscape space and creating depth on a two-dimensional surface. We will focus on the important aspects of creating illusionistic space necessary for painting and drawing landscape imagery. We will cover and practice techniques such as value, perspective, layering of forms and scale. Approaches and styles of well-known landscape artists will be viewed and discussed to exemplify the basic principles being introduced. The instructor will teach via Zoom and students will have the choice to participate in-classroom or online. A list of basic supplies will be sent upon registration.

Rock music during the 1967 - 1969 countercultural era started with the Summer of Love and ended tragically just two years later. We'll explore cultural and political events of the time from the Monterey International Pop Music Festival, through the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, and ending at the Altamont Speedway Festival. While Monterey introduced the world to many soon-to-be famous performers, Woodstock gave its name to a generation, and Altamont brought the era of love and trust to a sad end. Join the conversation as we recall this seminal time in American history.
