I attended an elective astronomy class as a student at Louisiana State and am an amateur studies of the skies and space. I also studied Fine Arts, including courses in Art History and Appreciation, at Louisiana State University, and have a certificate from Texas Academy of Art in Houston, TX. I have worked as a professional artist, doing portrait art on commission.
A one-page worksheet ("travel log") will be available for download for each destination we visit.
40 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
