Pathways Institute for Lifelong Learning® members participated in an engaging artistic endeavor during Ms. Nancy Herron’s six session art course! This extensive course allowed Pathways members to experiment with watercolor materials and techniques to create a landscape and a seashell watercolor scene.
Nancy Herron is an outstanding artist with experience teaching art in Fresno City Schools, and to home schoolers K-12. She loves teaching art to children and this course was her first time teaching older adults. Nancy believes it is important for older adults to continue learning, growing and expanding regardless of age, which they certainly did during this course!
All participants completed the course with outstanding artwork! For many, it was their first time using watercolors. Helen Atwood says she enjoyed having room to spread out her materials and look at her painting from a distance. Furthermore, class members enjoyed learning new techniques from Nancy, such as how to paint ocean waves.
Whether someone has a great deal of artistic talent or if this is their first time picking up a pencil or brush, they are most welcome to join Nancy for her sketching course which will be offered in the spring 2012 term through the Pathways Institute.
The Messiah Village chili pepper is looking for some prize winning chili to taste at this year’s Still Kickin Chili Cookoff! We are looking for local business and friends of the community to enter this year’s competition.
In September I tried out. I was very nervous. It had been a long time since I had been so nervous. At the end of the try-outs I was told that I had made the cast! That day I also found out that my son who is 5 also would be in the party scene as one of the little boys.
