PLEASE NOTE
What Level Am I? Choosing a comfortable course level is important for your teacher and your fellow
students. For studio courses, we try to encourage students to select the offerings that best fit your skills
and experiences, or in certain cases might stretch your talents when you’re ready for growth. If you have
any questions about what level course is best for you, please call Ellyn at (772) 231-0707 x116.
Registration Deadlines: Because space is limited, students should register at the earliest opportunity
in the event a popular course is filled quickly – waiting until the last moment to register may result in
disappointment if a course is cancelled due to low enrollment.
Consider Tuition Plus! As we attempt to serve the broadest possible public and keep class fees
competitive, as with many other community art schools, tuition fees unfortunately do not cover the full
expenses of the Museum Art School in offering courses and workshops. On average, the fees charged in
tuition cover only 68-75% of the total expenses. Tuition Plus provides a way for students to support the
Museum Art School by contributing toward these additional expenses. By making a fully tax-deductible
gift in the amount of $100 for each registered course, you can help the Museum Art School continue its
community mission of providing the finest studio art and humanities learning experiences for children
and adults. Look for the Tuition Plus reminder on every other page.

Johnson Heade into great landscapes here and abroad.
Understand the mindset of Winslow Homer, join renegade
Grant Wood, and connect with Georgia O’Keeffe who
responded to a quickly modernizing society. Don’t miss

THE WORLD OF WOLF HALL
Judy M. Pittenger
Hilary Mantel’s novels and the BBC series have given
history fans the magnificent world of Wolf Hall, the
turbulent times of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Thomas More,
and Thomas Cromwell. Mantel is intrigued by the fictive
nature of received history—the problem of knowing
the truth about the past. This seminar will consider the
political and religious environment of 16th century
England, providing context for Mantel’s novels and the
works they have inspired.
Seminar meets Monday, January 18
9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. (coffee break included)
THE KING JAMES BIBLE - A CELEBRATION MORE
THAN 400 YEARS IN THE MAKING
Judy M. Pittenger
Whatever our faith or belief, as speakers of English we have
been influenced by the power of this translation of the
Bible, authorized by King James in 1604. The very rhythm,
cadence, and phraseology of modern English resonates
with the beauty and majesty of this text. The ringing
rhetoric of Lincoln and Churchill is firmly grounded in
the sonority of the psalms, the wisdom of Ecclesiastes, the
sublimity of the Gospel of John. Paradise Lost, Handel’s
Messiah, even “Charlie Brown’s Christmas” are all
grounded in this text. Through word and image, we will
consider the 405-year history of this remarkable work.
Seminar meets Wednesday, January 20
9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
With a B.A. and a M.A. in Modern European History from
Stanford University, Judy Pittenger taught history and

GREAT TEACHERS OF THE SPIRIT
SEMINAR SERIES
Michael Verde
There are a handful of teachers in human history whose
teachings change not only what we know as history, but
what we mean by “human.” Three such world-turning
teachers are this series’ subjects: Socrates, Buddha, and
Jesus. Each presentation will focus on the central insights
of one teacher, will be grounded in the work of particular
authors, and will deepen awareness and appreciation,
not offer an authoritative final answer or an opinion of
who is the “greatest.” Each presentation will include an
intermission midway for lunch and conversation with
other participants in a spirit of companionship.
Seminar meets Thursday - Saturday, March 17 - 19

Michael Verde grew up in east Texas, where he read so
much it alarmed his high school counselor. He graduated with
honors from the University of Texas, earned a M.A. in literary
studies from the University of Iowa, and a M.A. in theology
from the University of Durham, England, where he graduated
at the top of his international class. In the English classroom,
Michael was named Teacher of the Year in only his third year
of teaching, at Lamar University. He is currently finishing
a Ph.D. at Indiana University in the area of empathetic
communication.
500 YEARS OF WESTERN CULTURE: FOR THOSE
WHO HAVEN’T THOUGHT ABOUT IT LATELY Nicholas D. Thomas
We all know a bit about the past. We remember the names
Cromwell, Locke, Napoleon and Freud. But it’s a bit
fuzzy. In a judgment-free, often irreverent atmosphere,
Nick will teach you his innovative method to make some
sense of what, after all, are just five tiny centuries. By
planting a mere five flags in the ground, at 1605, 1700,
1789, 1890 and 1918, you’ll start seeing cultural history in
a whole new light – not an endless parade of unattached
facts, but a human story that’s easy to remember and will
light your way forward.

FILM STUDIES
KEEPING ON: FILMS ABOUT ART IN THE
LONG RUN
Warren Obluck
In this course we’ll look at some long- term contributors
to the arts, both unapologetically elitist and unabashedly
popular. Among others, we’ll meet a brilliant concert
pianist, a legendary trumpet player, some of the hottest
dancers of the 1930s, and a photographer whose work has
been helping people understand the world around them
since the Sixties. They share a common trait: not only were
they once great, they remain great. They’re unforgettable,
and so are these films.

COULD’VE WONS: FILMS THAT ALMOST
SNAGGED AN OSCAR
Warren Obluck
Last spring, a record number of exceptional international
movies competed for the Academy Award as Best Foreign
Film. Unfortunately, only one could walk away with
top honors. That was Ida, from Poland. Of the others,
some were shown briefly in theaters, usually without
much publicity, and some were entirely overlooked. This
course will feature some of the best from last year’s Oscar
competition that neither won nor got wide distribution,
despite their unquestionable worth.
Classes meet February 9 - March 8
Tuesdays, 1:30 p.m.

Tuesdays, 7:00 p.m.
TRENDS IN INTERNATIONAL CINEMA: PARTNERS
Warren Obluck
These films are not precisely about friends. Nor are they
about buddies in the traditional Hollywood sense of the
term, although some of them do go on the road. So we’ll
call them “partners,” individuals sometimes teamed up
by chance, individuals working together often despite a
certain tension in the air. The stories in these remarkable
films occur in places as wildly distinct as Finland, Uruguay,
and America. Their humor ranges from slapstick to
lighthearted to black, their heroes from rough-hewn to
city-slick.

ART FOR HEALTH’S SAKE
What is Art For Health’s Sake?
A growing body of research demonstrates that a variety
of creative engagements can positively impact emotions,
attitudes and beliefs, contributing to greater health
and wellness for the individual. The arts have long
been recognized for their power to bridge differences
– connecting individuals of different backgrounds
through the shared experience of art, music, literature
and movement, thus healing communities as well as
individuals.
Why Art For Health’s Sake at the Museum?
Courses and programs that provide these experiences are
centered on the process instead of the product, because
it is through a guided process of creative and personal
realization that profound changes can be achieved. The
Museum embraces all art forms as beneficial in promoting
these processes, including visual arts, music, creative
writing, movement, and the contemplative arts.
YOGA AT THE MUSEUM
Himalaya Parker
All levels
Be creative, aware and renewed. This course emphasizes
combining the flow of your breath with movement as we
bring health to our whole body, and will include some
specific therapeutic movements for each of the joints as
well. A guided relaxation completes each session. Students
will enjoy the experiences of art and form through
paintings and sculpture; as we become more aware of how
we both move and rest in the space around us, we become
a living art form. The class is open to everyone and will be
fun to connect and explore both within our selves and with
each other. Pre-register to reserve a space or “drop-in” for
single sessions (Drop-in $15 per class).

ART THROUGH THE 5 SENSES: A YOGA JOURNEY
Elise Mahovlich
All levels
Experiencing art usually means reacting to what we see,
then moving on. To have a greater appreciation for what
an artist is trying to convey requires a deeper relationship
with our five senses. Using the ancient system of yoga to
tune into what out bodies perceive will reveal how the
world around us resonates deeply within us. Each week
will focus on one of the five sense organs applying yoga
postures to not only enhance our experience of the artwork
but illuminate vibrant health to the nervous system
(sight), immune system (hearing), respiratory system
(smell), digestive system (taste) and the muscular/skeletal
system (touch). Students will be guided into posture with
clear, precise and easy to follow instructions. No yoga
experience in necessary. Students must be able to move
from floor to standing poses.
Pre-register to reserve a space or “drop-in” for single
sessions (Drop-in $15 per class).
