Python
This course will introduce students to the
basics of Python. Python is an interpreted,
object-oriented high level programming language, which has recently become a popular
tool in industry and in academia. Python can
be used for creating Windows, UNIX and
Mac applications, from simple console and
web based to elaborate graphic interfaces
for video games. Python standard packages
such as numpy, scipy and scikit-learn offer a
range of modern methods for big data analysis and constantly expand their capabilities.
As Python is free to use and open source, it
can be a valuable recourse for students curious about the inner workings of the data mining/machine learning methods. The ability to
understand big data processing is becoming
necessary for many careers, from computer
programming to business managing. In this
project-based course students will explore
applications of Python for data analysis and
computer - aided decision making. Step-bystep instructions will be provided for each
project. Examples will be taken from Robotics, Finance and Business, Economics, Operations Research, Financial Modeling, Engineering, Mathematics, Biology and Physics.
The concepts of machine learning algorithms
and big data analysis will be introduced.

Basic Drawing
One of the most challenging and rewarding disciplines in art is to capture the character and likeness of a human subject.
This course covers the study of the head
and face. The focus will be to develop a
keen eye for the proper proportions of
the head and an artist’s understanding of
the anatomy and proportions of the face.
Students will be instructed in the observation of the planar surfaces of the head
including: eyes, nose, mouth, ears, head
and shoulders. This course is perfect for an
artist who would like to work with portraiture. Class sessions will include working
from a planar bust of the head, handouts
provided, self-portrait studies and finally
a model. Students may sculpt in clay and
draw from clay; working in three dimensions strengthens drawing skills. Additional projects may include working from personal sketches or personal photographs.
Charcoal pencils or graphite pencils on
white drawing paper will be the medium.
Supplies: Please bring these drawing supplies to class for the first session: black
charcoal OR graphite pencils (hard, medium, soft/HB, 4B, 6B), white drawing
paper (11X14 or larger), kneaded eraser,
Factis white stroke eraser, utility blade,
blending stump, and fine sandpaper pad.
In this class students will learn the fundamentals that make drawing easier. Using
pencil and charcoal, students will use still
life compositions to study contour, proportion, structure, value and the spatial relationships that exist between objects. Contour
line exercises, simple rules of perspective
along with shading will teach students that
drawing is fun. Please bring a #2 pencil, a
large stick of soft vine charcoal, soft black
conte crayon and kneaded eraser to the first
class. A complete list of supplies will be

Grades 6 to 8
This art based program will
teach each student the materials; vocabulary, design and
“hands on” know how it takes
to create their very own beautiful mosaic piece of artwork.
Students will learn the basics
of design by creating their
plan using cut pieces of paper
to represent what their final
artwork will look like. Once
they have a design, students
will begin to use real tiles and
grout along with “found objects “ to create a one of a kind
mosaic piece We will also set
broken dishes and glass beads
into a glue/plaster base on the
back of a tile. This makes for a
safe adhesive for kids and the
back of the tile being unglazed
is a great surface. Students
will walk away with a piece
of artwork that will make a
beautiful decor piece for many
years to come.
