Artistic Expression
Drawing From the Right
Side of the Brain
Have you always wanted to draw, but
felt you couldn't? Here is the class that
helps you to fulfill that desire. You
learn how to release and develop the
creative potential within.
Students are encouraged to shift from
the symbol-oriented, left-brain mode to
the spatially perceptive, image-
oriented, right-brain mode. Exercises
and techniques designed specifically to
facilitate this shift are introduced and
implemented. The exercises include
vase-face drawing, upside-down
drawing, blind contour drawing.
negative-positive drawing, and grid-
system drawing.
Employing these techniques, you
learn how to see as one must in order to
draw successfully.

Music
How to Play the Piano
Despite Years of Lessons
For piano dropouts who can still find
Middle C on the keyboard, know the
names of the lines and spaces of the
treble clef, and want to make their own
kind of music with popular songs, folk
songs, hymns, carols, and old favorites.
Most composers, from Bach to the
Beatles, make music from a few basic
facts and a few simple ideas, such as a
basic chord dressed up, altered, or
camouflaged. Once you see how music
is made, you can make your own music
right away without spending time on
scales, keyboard exercises, or rote
learning. Co-sponsored with The Piano
Consortium, New School for Social
Research, New York City.

An Introduction to
Programming In BASIC
Computer literacy is fast becoming a
necessity in the emerging computer

age. A fundamental of this literacy is
skill at programming computers. The
most common and easiest-to-learn
programming language is BASIC.
Participants in this class learn what
computers are, how computers are
being used today, and what they may
be used for tomorrow. The main
emphasis, however, is on developing
the ability to write simple programs
utilizing the BASIC language.
In addition, students learn what a
program is, what variables are, and
how to use such statements as LET,
PRINT, GOTO, INPUT, IF ... THEN.
and FOR ... NEXT. As interest and
ability allow, enrollees also are
exposed to generating random
numbers, peeks and pokes, read/data,
gosubs, and arrays.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This
course is intended for students with
little or no experience in programming.

Does My Business Need
A Computer?
For every successful installation of a
business computer, there are several

have attempted to computerize their

costing them dearly in both time and
money.

Local Area Networks
for Computers
Computers are becoming more and
more commonplace in today's business
environment. Due to falling prices and
increased processing power, the
desktop microcomputer has become a
more cost efficient tool in business
management. But its proliferation has
not occurred without some problems,
the major one being how to share
information between computers within
the same company.
One solution to this problem has been
the development of local area
networks. Local area networks allow
companies to link together various
computer systems and other automated
office machinery. But not all
computers can be linked together. Nor
do all companies need local area
networks.
As with any other newly emerging
technology, one must carefully consider
both costs and benefits. To help you
better understand local area networks
and realize their potential benefits, we
