Artists Discussion and Critique
Everyday Writing by the Numbers
Neil Johnston
Mary Jane LaVigne
The Artists Discussion is a critique class designed for the working artist, beginning
artists or people who just enjoy art. Each session includes a structured art critique of
2D/3D media art works and a discussion of related art topics. We will discuss 5-6 works
of art at each session. Everyone is encouraged to bring art to be discussed, but it is not
required. This class is FREE and open for drop-ins, but please call 651.407.0597 and
confirm your space in case of scheduling changes or cancellations.
Remember kits with numbered pictures and a matching paint set? Anyone might
give oil a try with one of those. If only writing were that easy. Well, it can be. Maybe
you’ve got a letter to the editor you’re burning to write, or story in your desk drawer
awaiting revision. Or would you just like to tackle the next thank you note with less
trepidation? A few tried and true techniques make it easier. This class is open to all
levels of experience. When it comes to getting words on a page, we all end up
struggling in the same muck. Don’t worry, you won’t be forced to color inside the lines.

All-levels class is perfect if you’re new to yoga or have only
known yoga as “group exercise.” Class will include deep
tissue and assisted stretching, asana including a variety of
inversions, numerous yoga breathing techniques and final
relaxation. Yoga is presented as “meditation in motion”
without music and mirrors to distract you. Meditative yoga
is proven to boost the immune system and improve mood.
Instructor Shaila Cunningham is certified from Kripalu in
MA, a school with lineage back to India. She first began
her practice while living in Asia and incorporates elements
of zen and qi gong. Instruction is highly individualized for
different body types and goals. Instructor also has
experience with golfers, tennis players as well as therapeutic
yoga for a variety of conditions from MS, CFS, FM, digestive
issues and cancer. Please bring a sticky mat; there are a

questions for the instructor about health issues, content
questions, etc. Pre-registration required. We are unable to
