I had the special opportunity to take a three day intensive class focused on an Impressionistic Approach to Watercolors with the world renowned Watercolor painter from Uruguay, Alvaro Castagnet. He taught us to look for the revolution within the painting & not 'paint pretty' We don't make pussy cats we make lions! And being a Leo myself this was incredible to hear. Interesting new concepts I learned like Maintain dirty water and never refresh it. Never clean the palette so one can Blend colors you have never seen before. Look for Lost & Found brushstrokes. Alvaro reminded me, To Paint with authority / Do not ever lack authority. because, If you are not confident it will show In your painting.

despite phoenix (or AZ in general) not being a hotbed for art and design, the school of design at…read moreASU is actually pretty good. speaking at least for the Industrial Design program, the school has managed to pull together a knowledgeable and likable staff. most colleges within ASU have an incredibly high teacher/student ratio, the college of design keeps it very low. your professors will get to know you on a personal level and it would be too evident for you to miss a class. most importantly, the structure of the program WILL prepare you for the real world, if you let it. a lot of times it will be hard to see the importance of certain lessons, especially early on, but the later classes are very relevant. the school does a good job of teaching both the artistic and scientific perspective when it comes to design. but be warned, this program (ID) is not for the faint of heart... be prepared to spend all-nighters in the studio while your friends may be out partying. the studio will become a new home for you and your new design family. despite the long hours, the friends you will make in the program will be friends for life because of the struggles you shared together! if you're interested in the program meet with Prasad Boradkar or Pepe Velasquez!

When it comes to the Jewish students at ASU, Hillel is one of a very few places that they go to for support whether it be a talented group of staff, a building that feels like home, and plenty of intentional programming and activities that take place both within the building and across the four ASU campuses. As an ASU staff member and a Hillel board member, I have found myself staying in touch with Hillel staff members and student leaders on a regular basis and making it over to the Hillel Jewish Student Center whenever I get a chance. This year, being based at the West Valley Campus has made it more challenging to do so, but when I plan the drive out accordingly, I can make it to special events on the Tempe Campus or at the Hillel Jewish Student Center. After having worked at three universities each with a Hillel center, I have been impressed with the work put in by the staff, volunteers, and student leaders to create such a meaningful experience for the students and community members who find themselves at Hillel. Hillel offers programming to celebrate the many Jewish holidays throughout the year including weekly Shabbat services and even the High Holidays when classes are in session. Their website (https://www.hillelasu.org) highlights many of these events in a calendar. They also have communities within the community at Hillel including groups for students involved with Greek Life, engineering, business, journalism, the Downtown Campus, the Polytechnic campus, and those interested in social justice. There are also Birthright Israel trips sponsored by Hillel bringing students on 10-day trips to Israel. For many of the programs and events, even non-Jewish students are welcome to join. They also offer Kosher food onsite, scholarships, employment and internships, travel opportunities, and an opportunity for families to connect. In fact, there are events during Move-In, Family Weekend, Jewish holidays including the High Holidays, and other times throughout the year when families are welcome to join their students (though they technically are never turned away). There are also opportunities for the community and alumni to make donations to support such programming. From the annual fundraiser L'dor V'dor to the new capital campaign to get a new building built, there are many ways to contribute. I certainly recommend anyone knowing a current or future ASU student who has Jewish ties to continue reaching out to the ASU Hillel to connect with them.

This place is a great resource for an ASU student. The OCSS stands for Off-Campus Student Services…read more The following free resources are available for students at the OCSS. -Access to computers for studying, job hunting, apartment hunting, etc. -With ASU Sun Card you can print up to 10 pages a day for free. -Free parking while at the OCSS. (This alone is amazing since there is no free parking on campus!! So you don't need to feed the meter when you are there to print. Just sign in at the front desk.) -Relaxing and quiet study areas. (Way quieter than the library!) -Information on nearby apartments. (Very useful for students looking for a place to live.) -Sometimes on Friday's they put out small freebies. (i.e. chapstick, travel coffee mugs, pens, snacks, etc.) I think the OCSS offers great benefits to ASU students and I think most are unaware that it exists.

They have great facilities and a presence both at Tempe as well as at other campus locations. I would certainly recommend W. P. Carey for any prospective college student. I also envision if I went for another degree, I can easily envisioning myself pursuing a MBA from W. P. Carey. First-year students in W. P. Carey can live in a Residential College community with other W. P. Carey students. At the Polytechnic Campus, that would be in Lantana Hall. At the Tempe Campus, that would be at Adelphi Commons, Hassayampa Academic Village, or McClintock Hall. At the West Valley Campus, that would be at Casa de Oro. In every one of these communities, you have Residential Life professional staff working hand in hand with W. P. Carey engagement coordinators. From the traditions, opportunities to connect with W. P. Carey deans, advisors, and tutors, and proximity to classes, there's a lot being offered here. W. P. Carey buildings at the Tempe Campus include the Business Administration and Business Administration C-Wing buildings as well as the newer McCord Hall. All are near the Memorial Union, the Student Pavilion, and the Sun Devil Fitness Complex. For nearby visitor parking and structure permits, the Apache Blvd Parking Structure is also nearby. Learn more about the W. P. Carey School of Business at https://wpcarey.asu.edu. Read more on that website about degree programs, the executive education, faculty and research, careers and employers, alumni, people, and information in general about the college. They have received plenty of national rankings for undergraduate, graduate, and online programs. All in all, more than 25,000 students from over 120 countries attend W. P. Carey. While all colleges are growing, the W. P Carey School of Business is continuing to grow like none other college!

Multiple artists are set up at a host artist's home studio, and the public gets to browse and shop. It was fun to see some art that we recognized from other shows or restaurants. Each artist had a card, qr code, or newsletter sign up sheet. Just driving through the desert from studio to studio was breathtaking. We saw such a variety of interesting art in beautiful homes and studios. I can't wait to go again next year and will plan more days around it so that we can view so much more. Plan your route and stop by downtown Cave Creek or Carefree for lunch. We did take our kids, after a very firm discussion on being respectful and not touching (art or each other). They did pretty good and found it interesting. Each artist had a bowl of candy or mints out, so that added extra motivation. The artists were wonderful towards the kids.

I've also got a diploma from British Columbia Institute of Technology. Which is probably the top technology school in all of Canada. And this course although online is just as thorough and I thoroughly enjoy it. The lessons are not easy and maybe that's why I see a couple people complaining they're possibly bitter that they got poor marks for not Reading and actually doing the work involved. Instructor, Piper, always marks my assignments within one day, sometimes less and I have no problems with getting a hold of people and I honestly really enjoy doing these exercises and reading and watching the videos. In my opinion, don't let people scare you away from sessions college. As far as I'm concerned and with experience as a web, designer and developer with diplomas from other top notch, colleges Sessions is just fine.
