Join teaching artist Abby Ouellette to learn about a different artist each week\, exploring their artistic style and medium before breaking out to create your own piece of art! Each session will begin with a “Meet and Greet” to meet the artist! Students will learn the artist’s name and a short history of their life before then exploring notable work. Once the class has met the artist\, we will then begin working with that artist’s preferred medium on a piece of our own. The final half of the hour of the class is an open studio exploration with students welcome to continue working on the day’s pieces\, start a new piece\, or return to work from past sessions. This class is open to all skill levels! Come with your own knowledge and the willingness to learn!\nSpeaking about artists\, meet your arts instructor! Abby Ouellette is an Illustrator originally from Boston\, Massachusetts. She is passionate about bright colors\, desert plants\, and creating work that is fun. Abby frequently explores the concept of girlhood and coming of age through her illustrations\, and brings a fun and nostalgic twist to them through movement and cut-paper techniques. She can talk forever about her many plants\, her personal library of books\, and her dog Mabel. \nTo learn more about Abby and view her work\, visit https://www.abbyouellette.com/ \nAges 8-12\nOpen to all skill levels! \nMonthly & semester based registration options URL:https://helenamt.com/event/art-smart-after-school-art-class-2/2024-11-05/ LOCATION:Holter Museum of Art\, 12 E.

His methods and exploration of universal truths transcend the spoken word to educate and touch his audiences. \nToday\, the opportunity to make the ancient art form of mime accessible to a contemporary audience drives his professional artistry. Bowers is a mime who also talks\, deftly interspersing narrative with stunning visual portraits.

Philosophy\, as the love of wisdom\, should be open to wisdom wherever it embeds itself. The Tanakh\, the textual source of Judaism\, arose from within a largely agrarian society with deep connections to particular lands and places. It seems reasonable\, then\, to start with the assumption that the traditions of thought and practice that have grown out of the Hebrew Bible (and inspired it) might offer environmental wisdom for our pressing times. \nTogether\, over 4 every-other-Wednesday sessions\, we will closely read and discuss the contemporary import of essays from a variety of Jewish authors including Abraham Joshua Heschel\, Leo Strauss\, Daniel Delgado\, James Hatley\, and others. Sessions will be discussion-based\, facilitated by Kaleb Cohen and Mitchell Conway\, with one guest facilitator joining along the way. \nSome core questions that we’ll explore: \n— How might Hebraic ideas inform philosophy? Are they philosophical or solely religious ideas? Can those ideas have any meaning outside of their cultural context?\n— What role might the Jewish notion of exile hold for an environmental ethic?\n— In Montana\, how ought we respond to a history of violence against buffalo and Indigenous peoples and what could Jewish traditions teach us about these responses?\n— What is the meaning of rest in an age of industrialization and unrelenting resource extraction? \nWhile each session will be self-contained (such that you can attend a stand-alone session and still benefit)\, participating in as many sessions as possible will allow more time to make and experience larger connections between readings\, ideas\, and questions explored. \nFREE & open to the public. Donations appreciated.
