HELEN BUISKOOL ArtsCenter Instructor and Student for 7 years!

“The staff at The ArtsCenter has been wonderful to work with. They have given me not only the opportunity to reach hundreds of kids but also the freedom to design my own lesson plans and try out new things through a wide variety of media. Although I have my own home studio, as an artist, I still find it important and helpful not to work in a vacuum, so I enjoy taking classes at The ArtsCenter from time to time.

These classes have been mostly with Luna, but also with Lynn Bregman-Blass and Linda Passman. Taking classes at “For me, The ArtsCenter is more than just a place to teach or The ArtsCenter keeps me painting. I to take a class; it offers a sense of community—a place to meet learn new techniques, meet new peopeople, learn together, and build solid and supportive friend- ple, and stay in touch with friends I’ve ships.”

3056. ADVANCED DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY: COMPOSITION AND EQUIPMENT—at The Century Center Are you familiar with basics of photography, such as effectively composing images, using aperture- and shutter-priority, the exposure triangle and depth of field? Are you also comfortable with digital photography with some understanding of workflow, file formats, white balance and color management? In this 4-week class, we continue with more compositional considerations in creating artful images for effect, such as balance, symmetry and asymmetry, golden ratio, golden spiral, triangulation, and avoiding “mergers.” We consider color theory to help in creating pleasing images.

We problem-solve several potentially challenging shooting scenarios. Also, we discuss equipment choices that you may want to make, including tripods, monopods, and other portable stabilizing devices. For Dig-

ital SLR (DSLR) users, we consider types of lenses that may be useful for you. We discuss shooting in fully manual mode as well as “RAW” mode and present tradeoffs of RAW vs. JPG photography. Please note: This class takes place at The Century Center at the intersection of Weaver and Greensboro Streets in Carrboro. Cosponsored with Carrboro Recreation and Parks Department

3059. CYANOTYPES The cyanotype, also known as the “blue print” or “sun print” provides a fun, easy and non-toxic exploration into the origins of photography. The basic cyanotype recipe has not changed very much since Sir John Herschel introduced it in 1842. It is often the first alternative process that people try because it is quite beautiful and expressive and can also be seen as a gateway to further exploration of historic photographic methods. In addition, it gives experienced photographers and artists a great excuse to take their eyes off the computer screen and get their hands dirty. Unlike photographs set in silver, as in black and white photography, cyanotypes are using a solution of iron compounds. The photograph can be taken with a camera, even a digital camera, and the resulting photo turned into a negative that can be used to make a cyanotype. Also, objects like flowers, lace or practically anything can be used to produce a photogram. $20 for chemicals, paper and digital negative film, paid to instructor at first class.

Traditionally, panoramic photography required specialized cameras, ultra wide angle lenses and hours in the darkroom in order to create wide sweeping views and large format landscapes or cityscapes.

Today in the digital age, for anyone with a point and shoot or DSLR camera it’s become much easier to create those photos of beautiful vast expanses you simply cannot achieve with just one frame using stitching software, panoramas and multi frame image techniques are accessible to all. In this workshop, we will explore the methods from set up, exposure, and frame overlapping techniques, hands on location shooting, to final stitching in the classroom. You’ll discover and practice all the guidelines you’ll need for successfully creating panorama and multiple frame images. Basic understanding of your camera is required. Bring your camera and manual, fresh batteries and memory cards. Recommended but not required: DSLR, tripod.

PHYSICAL THEATER For Movers, Dancers, and Artists of all mediums, this six week course ushers students through an exciting approach to theater and creation of original work by means of the body. While the majority of western performance relies upon the spoken word, we are concerned with reinstating the body as the essential means of communication and inspiration. Based on the pedagogy of the influential Jacques Lecoq School in Paris, we utilize movement and improvisation as our primary tools, exploring the potential of the human form’s expressive possibilities. This class is for students of all disciplines interested in discovering new, internal sources of innovation. Come prepared to challenge yourself physically, mentally, and above all, artistically. Please dress in loose, comfortable clothing suitable for movement. Please bring notebook and pencil or pen.

3079. ACTING INTENSIVE Students will express their creativity while learning fundamental acting skills.This class is designed to focus on two specific areas of acting technique: Instinct and Preparation. Class will begin with exercises and improvisations to deepen the actor’s sense of open honest listening and responding.

This moment-to-moment reality will be explored within the framework of behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances. The actor will explore character creation, needs, obstacles, and being in the moment. Exercises are used to help actors dive into a character’s physical and emotional life, increase relaxation and concentration, and open up the actor’s instrument and imagination. Next, scenes are carefully chosen that both suit and challenge the actor. A step-by-step approach to scene work follows from analyzing text and making specific choices, to developing a character and creating the role. This class is for the beginner AND advanced student. However, careful consideration will be given to the scripts chosen.

Lindy Hop—originally was the energetic form of partnered swing dancing that began in Harlem in the late 1920’s and continues to thrive today. Lindy works well with big band or jazz and can be danced to slower music as well.

It takes a bit longer to get started as the basic is technically more difficult for both the Leader and the Follower, but the result is worth it as this dance has many fun variations.

Over the past three decades, childhood obesity rates in America have tripled, and today, nearly one in three children in the United States is overweight or obese. Poor diet and lack of exercise put today´s children at greater risk for heart disease, diabetes, and cancer later in life. A foundation for healthy eating at a young age is needed to lessen the risk for chronic diseases. In this class, we highlight the positives of the four food groups in the Power Plate. Children ages 9-12 are exposed to the great taste and health benefits of eating a plant-based diet through kid-friendly recipes approved

by PCRM´s (pcrm.org) staff of dietitians.

The curriculum aims to empower children with the knowledge and skills they need to establish healthy habits to carry them well into adulthood. In addition to sampling food in each class,, each child receives a workbook filled with activities and worksheets focused on nutrition and several recipes. $25 for food, paid to instructor at first class. Please note: This class takes place at the Century Center at the intersection of Weaver and Greensboro Streets in Carrboro. Cosponsored with Carrboro Recreation and Parks Department

The online Kickstart program has helped thousands of people adopt a plant-based diet to reach their health goals. Depending on one’s perspective, the Food for Life: Kickstart Your Health classes are about losing weight, maintaining a healthy weight, or simply embracing an overall healthful diet.

The FFL Kickstart Your Health classes offer a chance to discover which foods are optimal for weight management, learn about various health topics including blood pressure and digestion, and get empowered with the practical cooking skills needed to help you on your journey to better health.
