As we approach the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the War of Independence, the role that Boston played as the site for so many of the critical events in the decade leading up to the war, needs to be explored. How was it that this seaport town with one of the largest populations of any place on the Atlantic seaboard, became the seat of so much violence and controversy in the period from 1765? And what was it like to live in Boston at this time in history? Instructor: James Kences

Creativity enhances every aspect of our lives. If we wish to grow as an artist, or as a human being, we need to break free from the routine and ruts we’ve fallen into. The creative process requires us to challenge assumptions, to take risks, to step into the unknown. And though that can be frightening, if we trust the process, we’ll discover we are not the sole creators of our art or our lives. We are co-creators. From that vantage point we’ll experience the real joy of being an artist. We’ll explore this process using watercolor monoprints, a technique as old as cave paintings. From there anything goes. Whether you consider yourself to be an experienced or a beginning artist this class offers something for you. Please come join the fun! Fun fact: When we trust the process, we don’t need to trust ourselves, or some other person, or some idea, or deity. We just trust the process and it yields the results.
