MONDAYS

The United States Constitution: What It Really MeansWhy was our Constitution needed in the first place?

The failure of the Articles of Confederation to be an effective central governing agreement after the Revolution led some of the founders – most famously James Madison and Alexander Hamilton – to push for a convention to revise the Articles. That convention was intended only to overhaul the Articles – a war-time agreement meant to knit together the colonies during the crisis of the struggle for independence – but Madison, Hamilton and others understood that something greater must be accomplished. The personal presence of George Washington as chair of the Constitutional Convention, one of Madison’s masterstrokes in politics, ensured the gravity of the proceedings as well as the trust of the public in the outcome. In this five-week class we will review the words of the Constitution from beginning to end, including all seven-core articles and each of the twenty-seven amendments. The core articles have been altered over time as various amendments have supplanted the original language and laws enforced by the Con-stitution from the time it was adopted in 1789. We will cover all changed language, as well as the rea-sons for those changes, some of which involve deep themes in American governing philosophy and the history of the nation. This should come as no surprise, as very few of us will ever become senators (a process covered in Article I), however all citizens can exercise freedom of

speech (one of the enumerated rights in the First Amendment). We will conclude the course with a discussion of contemporary issues directly related to our Constitution.

Your instructor, Patrick Farris has taught many classes for CLL on American History , the Constitu-tion, and the American Revolution.

Controversial Elections: United States Presidency

With a presidential election occurring this year, this course takes on new relevancy. Although the current presidential campaigns have raised some eyebrows, this is not the first election cycle where the contest for winner(s) has been controversial – even ugly.

This five-week class will look into the elections for this high office through the perspective of both American history and contemporary writers of the time. The series looks at the status of elections for the Presidency – past, present and future.

Topics include the review of the candidates’ morality, ethics, standards of behavior and Constitutional re-quirements of law. Scandals, whether real or created by the opposition are also considered if they were part of the campaign.

Past reviews of presidential elections have ranged from the attempt to shock the reader with the alleged scandal to a more profound historical perspective. This series is timely and will bring participants up-to-date as we get closer to the 2016 Presidential race.

Life’s Too Short NOT to Speak Italian

“Life’s Too Short NOT To Speak Italian,” says instruc-tor Nicki de Medici. There is so much to love about Italy—the food, the art, the people. If you have ever wished you had the basic conversational skills to enhance your Italian travel experience, to understand opera lyrics, or to follow an Italian film dialogue, or just to romance your significant other in the language of Casanova, then this is the class for you!

We will focus primarily on the rudiments of the spoken language and include audiovisual materials to take virtual vacations to Italy. We will also discuss social and cultural aspects of Italy today.

Your instructor, Nicki de Medici has been teaching Italian for years at Shenandoah University through the Center for Lifelong Learning. She has lived in, and experienced Italy first-hand to give you the excite-ment of being there. Come and enjoy, as she takes you on a journey of Italy through the sites, sounds and language of Italy!

Aging Gracefully: Making Each Day Count

There may have been a time, ages ago, when grow-ing old was less of a challenge that it is today. Sheer survival and living to an old age were challenges, but those who succeeded were assured of an honored place in society.

Life remained essentially the same from generation to generation and those who had already traveled the road were listened to with reverence and respect as they told us what lay ahead.

Our grand children's world is so different from the one in which we were raised that they see our experi-ences as quaint and exotic, but not terribly useful.

We are like 4-star generals who concentrate on fighting the last war instead of the next one. In other words, it would seem that we have no role to play in our current world. Oh, but we do!

An Evening of Wine TastingLead By Bogaty Family Wine Group

The wine world may seem daunting when you're handed a 20 page wine list or standing in a store with more than hundreds of wines to choose from. The key to learning about wine is in covering first things first and then practicing.

Our approach in this 4-week wine course is exactly that. We give you the most relevant information and then have you practice in simulated circumstances such as or-dering from a wine list or deciphering wine labels. That way we aim to make you comfort-able with wine from the beginning and have you continue your education in wine with enjoyment.

Your instructor, James Bogaty brings over 20 years of wine management experience to his role as CEO to Bogaty Family Wine Group. The Bogaty Family Wine Group produces over 10,000 cases of wines annual and has three additional wineries and vineyard lo-cations. James not only tells his audience about best practices, he lives them!

Drawing for the Pleasure of It

Discover skills you never knew you had, and enjoy them for a lifetime! You will be surprised how quick-ly learning 5 basic drawing elements will bring out your inner artist.

Artist have employed all styles of drawing through-out history, and none is inherently better or worse than another. So, you will learn to let go of you inhi-bitions!

During this five-week class you will learn an new concept and stylistic element of drawing. Partic-ipants will be drawing from other artworks, from objects they bring to class, from memory and from their imaginations.

Lessons will be drawn from the following books: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, Drawing for Older Children and Teens: A Creative Method for Adult Beginners, and Drawing on the Artist Within, by Betty Edwards.

Books are available in paperback and are in your local library. Books will also be available in class.

Alice’s primary media are neon and mosaic. Her neon figures are linear and gestural drawings in light. She has found mosaic to be a mid-point between draw-ing and painting. Drawing is fundamental to her work and to all art, and is her great passion. It can be yours, as well!

Your instructor, Alice Lees is a liberal arts gradu-ate of Penn State University, and has a BFA from the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D. C.

Local Women: Their Roles in the American Civil War

This four-week class will give you insight into the local women and their various roles in the American Civil War.

We will explore the experiences of women such as Helen Pritchard of the Pritchard-Grim Farm, Kern-stown; Sarah Bushong and Sallie Cullers, Shenando-ah County; and Mary McFarland, wife of a minister, Augusta County--and many others.

These women remained on the home front, caring for their families, saving their homes, and ministering to wounded soldiers from both the Confederate and the Union sides.

Recording the immediate impact of the war were lo-cal diarists such as Cornelia Peake McDonald; Marga-retta “Gettie” Sperry Miller; and Mrs. Mary Greenhow Lee.

We will learn more about the many facets of life on the home front—and the women who held things together! Or, those women who worked behind the scene as spies--i.e., Belle Boyd and Elizabeth Van Lew.

Digital Photography Fundamentals: For Beginners

Digital cameras offer many options for creating a photograph, but many users rarely stray beyond the camera’s automatic modes and settle for results that don’t meet up to their expectations. This introduc-tory class is for those who are interested in learning how to use their camera beyond automatic and pro-gram modes.

In this four-week class participants will learn where, when, why, and how to adjust settings using their own camera and will do practice exercises in each session to reinforce what they’ve learned.

By the end of the class, participants will feel more empowered to make decisions about camera settings to achieve the look they seek in their photographs, and will have the fundamental photography knowl-edge to troubleshoot situations when results aren’t as expected.

Our final session will include photography practice at a nearby outdoor location. Materials fee is $6 to be paid to instructor the first night of class. Please bring your camera and manual to your first class.(Maximum 12 participants.)

Your instructor, Mary Louise Ravese is founder and owner of Bella Vista Photography in Waterford, VA. Ravese an experienced photography instructor who has trained hundreds of amateur photographers.

Paris in the 1890s: The World of Toulouse-Lautrec

In this free lecture to the public, Jeffrey W. Allison, Virginia Fine Arts Museum, Paul Mellon Collection Educator and Manager of Statewide Programs and Exhibitions, looks at Paris in the 1890s when the city was at the height of the Belle Epoque. Carefree life, fickleness, and Joie de Vivre. These three words sum up this unique period in the History of France.

It was a rest be-tween two wars, a period of transition between two cen-turies during which the social barriers collapsed and the industrial revolu-tion gave hope of a better life for all.

Photography, Japonisme, new styles of writing from the Realists to the Symbolist, and politics were obvious influences on the painters of the era. Less well known, but equally influential were the medi-ums that grew up in the new Cafe concert halls and cabarets. Shadow Puppet play, songs performed by Chanteuse and Diseuse, and, of course, the dancers—from La Goulue and Jane Avril in the cabarets to Loie Fuller fresh from America.

The beating heart of this world was the Butte-Mont-martre and it was to the center of this world that Henre Toulouse-Latrec came in 1881.

B.B King once said, "The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you."

First Women: The Grace and Power of America's Modern First Ladies

In her runaway bestseller The Residence (April 2015), Kate Andersen Brower revealed what goes on behind the scenes at the White House.

Now she returns to tell the stories of the true power brokers at 1600 Pennsylva-nia Avenue: the first ladies. Her new book is "FIRST WOMEN: The Grace and Power of America’s Modern First Ladies" and it is filled with headline making rev-elations. Book included with registration.

First ladies are modern women who have modern problems, joys, and sorrows. They are wives, moth-ers, and political advisers who empathize with each other because, like American presidents, they are the only people who understand what it’s like to live in the fishbowl of the White House.

They forge friendships, like that between Michelle Obama and Laura Bush, and they share in each oth-er’s lives completely, like the lifelong bond between Lady Bird Johnson, Betty Ford, and Rosalynn Carter. They also have bitter rivalries, such as the bad blood between Barbara Bush and Nancy Reagan and the surprisingly cool distance between Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Kate Andersen Brower lives near Washington, D.C. with her husband, Brooke Brower, an executive pro-ducer for MSNBC, their two young children, Graham and Charlotte, and their Wheaten Terrier, Chance.

Mr. Jeffrey Allision, Paul Mellon Collec-tion Educator and Statewide manager at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

Kate Andersen Brower's book First Women: The Grace and Power of America’s Mod-ern First Ladies is filled with head-line making revelations.

Kate Andersen Brower, bestseller au-thor, will present a lecture and book signing at a one-day special event.

First ladies are modern women who have modern problems, joys, and sorrows. They are wives, mothers, and political advisers who empathize with each other because, like Amer-ican presidents, they are the only people who understand what it’s like to live in the fishbowl of the White House. “Shocking information about the first family's safety and how they are more vulnerable in the White House now than ever before."

Jeffrey Allison presents "Paris in the 1890s: The World of Toulouse-Lautrec" is a look at Paris when the city was at the height of the Belle Epoque era. This carefree life, fickle-ness, and Joie de Vivre are three words that sum up this unique period in the History of France during the 1890s. The beating heart of this world was the Butte-Montmartre and it was the center of this world that Henri Toulouse-Lautrec entered in 1881.
