Strathmore workshop

Every year Strathmore organizes free workshops.

The first started last week. It's called Abstract Fine Art Painting with Mixed Media.
The instructor is Robert Joyner.  You can still sign up!

Today I watched the second video and spent the rest of the afternoon painting. It's a very loose style that I am not used to. I tend to be detailed...
I have had fun trying this out.

Free courses




Waiting at the dentist's this week I read an article about Coursera.
They offer high quality courses from top universities, for free to everyone.

From the website: "you will watch lectures taught by world-class professors, learn at your own pace, test your knowledge, and reinforce concepts through interactive exercises. When you join one of our classes, you'll also join a global community of thousands of students learning alongside you."

There is so much choice. So far these I found most interesting:

Design: Creation of Artifacts in Society
Social Psychology
A Brief History of Humankind
Modern European Mysticism and Psychological Thought

But time....
I hope I will be able to just take one course...Probably Social Psychology.

Anyway if you want to check it out here is the link: Coursera
