LH-49-EXT Nature Walk

What better way is there to be blessed by the abundant gems of nature around you than to wake up on a fresh first of June morning to join with others on an hour-long walk in the Wetlands sponsored by Pathways Institute.  The early morning sunlight will plant sparkles of dew on every emerging green leaf. It’s a good time to notice delicate cobwebs constructed by tiny spiders practicing their newly learned engineering skills with the plan to catch lunch nuggets before noon when the dew will have evaporated and disappeared. You will see some of the early birds who may be actively adding their last piece of straw to fashion their new nest just right, looking like ones made by their ancestors, generations earlier. There is beauty all around: flowers, grasses, reflections, critters and insects. Join us, appreciate the beauty, new life and the warm breezes that coax our world to wake up and join in on all the things that make our Wetlands on campus a wonderful environment where wildlife can flourish.  The group will meet at the main entrance to the Crossings building at Landis Homes and will leave for a walk promptly at 9:00 am. Please wear comfortable shoes. We will be walking on smooth paths, sidewalks and roadways. Feet will stay relatively dry.

ML-51-EXT Meet The Creative YOU

I want to introduce you to someone special. That someone is YOU! It is easy to find your "inner artist." The ability to be creative is every person's birthright, not a special talent reserved for a few. The gift is there, to be exposed, using simple tools and techniques. The class will briefly cover the basics for creating beautiful art starting with proper seated body position and upper arm and hand function allowing freedom of motion, creating beautiful line quality. After doing warm-up exercises, participants will use their own intuitive inclinations to develop and expand the drawing exercise with colored pencils. Discussion and questions can be shared at the end of this one and one-half hour lesson. Participants will need to bring a sharpened pencil. Paper and colored pencils will be provided. A reference manual "Simple Lines Make a Difference" will also be offered for a fee of $10 (payable at the time of the course) to anyone interested in expanding the experience of creating art through line and color on their own at home.
