I was drawn to art beyond being content to just appreciate it\, but during my working career making time for art see med a luxury to be put on hold for the future. Somehow I found jewelry mak ing and fell in love with it. It enabled me to work with color\, design\, and texture\, it was a great stress-reliever\, an outlet for my creativity \, and it nurtured my soul. When I became a member of an artists’ co-op in Colorado Springs\, I was constantly admiring the work created by the gl ass artists there\, and one day one of them offered to teach me how to fus e glass. I was hooked. Creating fused glass art has taught me to appreciat e all art even more than I did before. It is always a learning experience. But when everything goes right\, the end result brings me joy and nurture s my soul\, as I always hope it will for those who see my art. Learning\, enjoying and creating art is an ongoing journey. Each new piece guides its own design and helps me grow as an artist. I love it! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ n\n\n\nRefund & Cancellation Policy\n\n\n\nNo refund will be issued less than 15 days prior to any Community Class.

Though founded in Ber lin and published there for most of its run\, the National Socialist regim e forced the magazine into Prague exile in March 1933. There\, it became o ne of the few unrestrained illustrated voices against German fascism. Key to its provocative protest was bracing photographs and stunning documents disgorged directly from the belly of the Nazi beast\, all presented in att ention-grabbing layouts. As this talk will show\, the magazine staff\, who were themselves victims of early Nazi persecution\, adapted photography a nd document reproduction from a means to illustrate into another to condem n. They had devised\, that is\, a mode of forensic antifascism that put th e German regime on trial. In the process\, the A-I-Z staff also learned to imbue their photographs with a highly emotional resonance that appealed t o multiple antifascist constituencies\, doing so with the apparent neutral ity of judicial evidence. They had devised a non-partisan antifascist rhet oric that became the visual grammar of the Popular Front\, a pictorial lan guage adopted by the USSR\, France\, Spain\, and Mexico soon thereafter. \ nDr. Andres Zervigón is Professor of the History of Photography at Rutger s\, the State University of New Jersey. \nThis event is free and open to t he public.
