Spain has produced extraordinary artists over the past 400 years. Tallahassee Senior Center artist, Tom Friedman, examines the works of El Greco, Velazquez, Zurbaran, Murillo, Goya, Fortuny, Sorolla, Gris, Miro, Picasso and Dali housed in the major Madrid museums: The Prado, The Museo Reina Sofia, The Thyssen-Bornemisza, and the Museo Sorolla. As an aid to understanding why we consider a small number of paintings to be masterpieces, the artists’ use of composition (placement of objects on the picture), tone (use of light and dark), color, and intangibles (such as beauty, shock, inspiration or topical – generally social consciousness) will be discussed. At the conclusion, participants will understand the environment in which art was produced and why.

Our world has become increasingly demanding and as seniors, it’s easy for us to become isolated and stressed, especially during the COVID-19 era. Thankfully, there are powerful but easy to use techniques to address these stressors. As Wayne Dwyer notes, “By changing the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” This presentation assists in understanding how and why we respond to stress. Special emphasis placed on strategies – both core mindfulness practices and every day “dos and don’ts” designed to lighten the burden of stress. Instructor and Psychologist, Al Kircher, of Winnipeg, Canada has most recently worked as a Psycho-Educational Clinician for the EAL Program [adult refugee program sponsored by the Canadian government]. He is experienced in meditation and has a special interest in preventative programs. Class will be on Zoom
Tuesday, January 26, 3:00 - 4:00 p.m.
