Dates: 07/02/2020 - 20/11/2020                                          Frequency: Weekly Course, Fri 11:30 - 13:00

This course is suitable for beginners and more advanced students. Please bring the following:
- Drawing pad, 2B pencils, eraser and pencil sharpener.
- Three round watercolour brushes: small, medium and large. Need to be of reasonable quality.
- Watercolour paint can be in pans or tubes. Suggested brands include: Winsor & Newton, Art Spectrum, Royal Talens
or Cotman.
- Essential colours: Ultramarine blue, Cadmium Yellow and Vermillion red; also raw and burnt Sienna. Optional colours:
Cerulean blue, Lemon yellow, Rose madder, Payne’s Grey and Sap green permanent.
 - An old white plate or palette for mixing colours and a cloth or towel for cleaning and drying. A jar for water, and paper
towels come in handy.
   Unfortunately, art materials are not cheap but with inferior quality materials it is impossible to produce quality work and
the good thing is, after the initial outlay, you will have many years of enjoyment from your first purchase. I still paint quite
often and now my expenses are less than the cost of a cup of coffee per week.

0ART14: Watercolour painting                                                                            Type: Long Course

We all use smart phones, tablets and smart TVs, but rarely think about how they work. In this course, I look at how
information technology has evolved over the last 150 years or more, what can be done now, and how this is changing.

In the lead up to the Australian Federation in 1901, there was something fermenting in the country that made many of the
1st, 2nd & 3rd generation locally born of European descent, begin to identify themselves as “Australians” rather than
exiles from the mother land. Think the laconic, happy go lucky, resourceful bush bloke, who could fix anything with a bit
of wire or some bailing twine, the stoic drover’s wife, women’s suffrage and the jolly swagman etc. Ideas promoted by the
likes of Henry Lawson, the bush poets like Banjo Paterson and exemplified by the attitudes conveyed in Miles Franklins
My Brilliant Career. This unit will look at the events that have shaped the Australian character since European settlement
and ask the question is there really such a thing as specific Australian values; and if so what are they and how can they
be conveyed to the future generations of increasing multicultural diversity. We will be using writings, films/doco’s and
music.
  You will be expected to buy or borrow a copy of “The Words That Made Australia; How a nation came to know itself”
edited by Robert Manne. Available from Black Books at $20 or possibly from the library. Note: This course will finish on
24 June.

The rides will commence at either U3A Glenhuntly, or a nearby railway station (e.g. Glenhuntly, Caulfield, Murrumbeena
etc.) at 9:30 am on a Tuesday during the normal school term dates. Be sure to check the ride description to know where
to meet! A verity of rides will be organised and led for riders of moderate cycling ability. The rides will vary in length, and
about once a month a longer ride will be organised (however it will usually include an option to use the train to get
home). The additional time will allow us to visit further away places using the train network. The group will give
preference to using bike paths, however this is not always an option in Melbourne.
   Requirements: Participants should feel comfortable riding a bike, and understand that for most rides they will be in the
saddle for at least two to three hours. Participants need to have a well maintained bike. Local bike stores will be able to
asses and assist you if you are unsure about the appropriateness of your bike. Also be sure to carry a MyKi card with
sufficient credit. Please also carry a spare tube for your bike. While we will be able to assist you if you have a flat, a
spare tube that fits your bike, will make getting back on the road much quicker.

Our parents' journey from the Yiddish civilization through the holocaust to the distant world of Melbourne, where even the
sun shone from the wrong side. The journey is examined by looking at poetry, songs, stories by the great writers, religion
as well as questions I asked in about thirty interviews. Examples of the questions are: How did you manage to get on
with your life after what you went through? Can it happen again. What does Israel mean to you? Why do you remain a
Jew? What is a Jew? Is luck more important than character?
  This is a continuation of a course from last year.     Note that the tutor will be absent from 6 May and will resume on 3
June. The course will finish on 24 June.

You will be provided with a basic outline for researching a family or organisation's history. There is a wealth of material
that will be lost forever if not recorded while those who were present are still able to recall details of their lives - or have
access to the links of previous generations. While everyone has a story to tell, many feel inhibited to tackle this project.
Some believe they lack the required skills, or adopt the attitude that their story would not be of interest to others.
