- The US. Constitution: One Key Question– Wednesday, March 10, 9:30-11:00am This one-time presentation follows an earlier four-week course, The U.S. Constitution: Keep It, Amend It, or Replace It? This session will be a group discussion about the key question: Should “we the people” rewrite, abolish, or keep our Constitution? The Framers clearly said that we had the right to do so. And if we decide that we should rewrite or abolish our Constitution, how do we go about doing that? Register online: URIOLLI.AUGUSOFT.NET
- Contemporary Masters of Photography, Thursday, March 11, 9:30-11:00am As we look at the works of some contemporary photographers, we will be inspired by their various styles to make our own art with our cameras or phones. In this art appreciation/workshop series, we will visit such masters as Andreas Gursky, Gregory Crewdson, Joyce Tenneson, Keith Carter, Nan Goldin, Katy Grannan, and Ryan McGinley, and learn how and why they have created their exceptional art. We will be challenged by such artists to create our own digital images, as humble or exceptional as they may be, and share them in our class.
