Stories Fueling a Revolution - Literature in TranslationAge: 13+ Time: 10:00 - 10:50 Class Fee: $10 Material Fee: $15 | Class Description Reading and discussion based class.

Students will engage in critical discussions that highlight the cultural, historical, and literary contexts of these works, fostering a deeper understanding of cross-cultural narratives and their implications on social commentary. Two tracks will be available in this class, depending on individual parent/student interest.

Art for TeensAge: 13+ Time: 11:00 - 11:50 Class Fee: $15 Material Fee: $15 | Class Description This class will provide teens with an opportunity to do some art - perhaps try new mediums, or explore a new subject, or experiment with a new technique. Whether they're new to art, have dabbled a bit in the past, or are super skilled, it doesn't matter. I will bring a variety of materials and art supplies each week - markers, coloring pencils, watercolor paint, some acrylics, paint brushes, paper of different types, pencils, and fine tipped ink pens. (Unfortunately we can't cover all the bases, because some materials are incredibly messy, or super stinky, or wildly expensive. But I'll do my best to have a wide variety of supplies on hand.) I will also make a variety of books available on different mediums, styles and techniques, if they want to look up how to do something (I have books on figure studies, watercolor techniques, cartooning, and a variety of other reference materials for artists.) For those who aren't sure where to begin or aren't in the mood to produce something from scratch, I'll bring a few 'adult coloring books' so they can still engage in something creative. I will also have suggestions for topics if they can't think of something they want to work on, and will be available to help with mastering different mediums if they want pointers, but there will be no requirements for what they work on each each week. As long as they're doing something creative, and have something to show for their time at the end of class, it'll be a win. The goal here is to provide an opportunity to experiment creatively, maybe try something new, or refine a technique they're already familiar with. Hopefully, by the end of the 8 weeks, they'll have a few pieces they really like, will be a little more confident in their own artistic abilities, and will have had some fun. Class rules:
