Doug did an excellent job of structuring our learning. He had useful handouts which aligned with our textbooks and which scaled our learning in an appropriate fashion. I was concerned about the course being online but Doug did an EXCELLENT job of facilitating our learning. He took the time to remember everyone’s names, set up two cameras to ensure we had good visibility of his guitar and handling techniques, and because it was online it meant I didn’t have to haul my guitar around! – Rachel on Beginning Guitar 1 with Doug Zangar Beginning Guitar, page 13

Collage and Abstraction

Collage is simply the art of pasting together bits of “found” (discarded) or painted paper to create a whole new work of art. Modern collage emerged in the early 1900s as a popular expressive medium, and is stronger and more exciting today, in fine art as well as graphic design. This class provides the space and framework to create some fun and compelling collage art through demos of design basics, painting and collaging techniques. No previous experience required.

It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again: A Julia Cameron Journey, Part 1 Each of us is creative and has something meaningful to share with others. In her recent book, It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again, based on her groundbreaking, The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron explores creativity in midlife and beyond. Retirement can be a richly rewarding experience, a time to revisit previous dreams, begin new projects and rewrite our futures. In Part I of this course, we will focus on the first half of the book, chapters one through six, as we kindle the creative spirit through four basic practices: daily morning pages, weekly artist dates, twice-weekly solo walks and a weekly in-class guided process to trigger and record memories that could develop into a memoir written in manageable chunks. Julia Cameron says all it takes to rediscover creativity are “passion, commitment and the courage to be a beginner.” Each class meeting will include time for sharing experiences, goals and individual journeys to nurture personal creativity and inspire others.

Twentieth Century Art: The Growth of Abstraction, 1950–Present The Growth of Abstraction, 1950–Present, is the second part of the course that introduced the exciting and controversial twentieth century art world as artists moved away from representational to abstract work. In the previous class we studied the major artists and movements that departed from portraying reality and instead focused on using color, shape, form and line to capture their inner spirit and achieve their effect. In this follow-up course, we will start with Abstract Expressionism and continue studying the variations in this style through both mainstream and fringe multicultural abstract artists, including the San Francisco School, the Bay Area Abstract Expressionists, The New York School, the Taos Moderns, Native American Painters and Northwest Artists. We will examine the work in relation to concurrent historical, social and technological developments. In addition, we will review the terminology and language of abstraction to better describe, understand and analyze the works we study. Class open to all students.

ENRICHMENT How to Be an Antiracist

Understanding Trauma

You already know of Dr. Ibram Kendi’s bestselling book How to Be an Antiracist. Dr. Kendi also wrote a board book for parents called Antiracist Baby. It is a deceptively simple rhyming book with nine steps to make equity a reality. We will focus on each step in turn. Purchase both books by Ibram Kendi: Antiracist Baby and How to Be an Antiracist. We will be journaling in and out of class, so please have a dedicated journal for the class. “Antiracist baby is bred, not born. Antiracist baby is raised to make society transform.” See www.learnatnorth.org for textbook information. 7080 4/21/2021 - 5/19/2021 5:30 - 7:00PM 5 ses W Chang Online; Zoom $85

Through lecture, discussion and group interaction, students will gain a greater understanding of what trauma is and how it affects people, including their behaviors, thought processes and feelings. The discussion will include viewing trauma in the short, intermediate and long terms. Much of the generally available information on trauma is misleading and simply inaccurate, so this course will provide a concrete definition of trauma and its different levels (i.e. the trauma continuum). The course will look at the interventions, therapies and support that are most likely to help persons impacted by trauma, and also the potential limitations and risks with those efforts. We’ll address issues such as: symptom management versus healing, the role of diagnosis and advanced topics of cultural and intergenerational trauma. One outcome of the course is for registrants to more fully understand what it means for a practice or an organization to be truly “trauma-informed.” 7025 4/22/2021 - 5/27/2021 6:30 - 8:30PM 6 ses Th Sideman Online; Zoom $175

Cultural Humility and Understanding Join us for the rebooted class Race and You: For Your Consideration, with Christina Chang, as we explore what Robin DiAngelo calls the most complex system ever created in this country: Racism. We’ll talk about the walk through understanding diversity, difference, race and racism through Derald Wing Sue’s “Pillars” Framework. We’ll explore the science of implicit bias, the phenomenon of microaggressions and we’ll challenge white supremacy culture, especially as it pertains to the workplace. Be prepared for breakout rooms, journaling and lots of discussion! 7055 4/22/2021 - 5/27/2021 5:30 - 7:30PM 6 ses Th Chang Online; Zoom $129 CHRISTINA CHANG Prior to her current position as a race and equity consultant, Christina spent 15 years heading the Finance, Talent and Administration teams for The University of Washington Advancement.

Christina speaks about building and sustaining a diverse and inclusive work culture at universities and other nonprofit organizations, as well as serving as faculty, chair and keynote speaker for several national conferences on behalf of the fundraising professional organization CASE. Christina earned her undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and holds a master’s degree in Public Administration from American University.

Feeling overwhelmed by the idea of preparing for an earthquake? Maybe you have started but don’t know where to go next. We will discuss practical, low-cost and high-value actions. It’s not about buying stuff (that’s the easy part), it’s about thinking through what might work for your situation. Topics covered include staying safe during the shaking, what to expect after an earthquake, communicating with loved ones, valuable tech tools, the psychological impact of a disaster, the city’s disaster plans and so much more. Increase your resiliency by decreasing your fear of the unknown. Second session is an hour-long, optional meeting to discuss concerns that come up during the week, or to ask clarifying questions once you’ve had a chance to evaluate your particular situation. 7001 4/10/2021 - 4/24/2021 9:00AM - 12:30PM 2 ses Sa Forrest Online; Zoom $29

You can find your ctcLink ID in your confirmation order email from conted@ seattlecolleges.edu. If you don’t see it, check your junk/spam folder. • Your password is the first eight characters of your last name in all lowercase letters, excluding any punctuation or spaces. • If your last name has fewer than eight letters, repeat from the start until you have entered eight characters and then click Login.

When you come to the meeting/classroom, you may be in a waiting room. No one can see or hear you. Please try to arrive at least five minutes before the class start time. When you join the meeting your camera (video) and audio will be muted. Download Zoom in advance and start to familiarize with it: https://zoom.us/ Here are a few additional tips to help make your online learning experience as smooth as possible: • If you can, try to create a dedicated study space that’s quiet, organized and comfortable. • Keep water and healthy snacks on hand to keep your brain and body fueled. • Take breaks when you need it. Move your body, take some deep breaths or step outside for a breath of fresh air. • Be patient with yourself—adjusting to online learning is a big change. Give yourself the freedom to experience some bumps along the way; your classmates and instructors are likely experiencing the same challenges. If you need additional help, check out the links below.
