Drawing & Creative Flow: An Art Workshop

Drawing & Creative Flow If your inner child has been wanting to create art, learning to draw is a great place to start. Nearly every child loves to draw, but many of us get socialized out of it around the time we learn to read. That timing is no accident; our culture emphasizes left-brain thinking, which deals with symbols, language and time. When we dwell constantly in the left brain, it's very difficult to access the right brain, and consequently, to transition into that blissful state called "flow" - that timeless, wordless state that makes you feel like you're on vacation. Learning to draw and access the right side of the brain gives us access to flow. It's both joyous and opens the gates to many other forms of art. In this class, Nicolette Toussaint will teach basic drawing techniques by having participants sketch with soft pencils and colored pencils. You will learn about light and shadow and about achieving a full tonal range. In addition, you will learn some helpful techniques for getting that harsh inner critic to shut up. Class 1 - Darks and lights, shape and shadow using black artist's pencils Class 2 - Spatial orientation, drawing upside down, beginning perspective Class 3 - Gestural drawing, line quality, sketching Class 4 - Still life with colored pencils Materials provided; class size limited and registration is required. Please contact Cathy at cclick@basaltlibrary.org to sign up.

Optimizing Brain Health for A Strong and Happy Start to 2022

The holidays are over, your life is back to normal, but what are mom and dad doing to stay engaged and keep their brain healthy? Isolation, loneliness, and post-holiday blues can harm short-term and long-term brain health.  A study by the health insurer Cigna found that loneliness has the same impact on mortality as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, making it even more dangerous than obesity. Loneliness increases the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and even premature death. The results of a 10- year study published in the Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences found that loneliness increases the risk of dementia by a startling 40 percent.

Be a part of cutting-edge research on healthy brain aging at Colorado State University’s BRAiN Lab!

The procedure is safe, non-invasive, and does not involve radiation. You will be asked to lie still in the magnet for about 50-min.  Some participants will be asked to wear a device measuring their physical activity for a week.  The total time commitment is 3-5 hours, depending on the study.  WHEN AND WHERE:  The studies are starting now! The first visits will be scheduled in the end of January and continue for the next year or two.  Location: Colorado State University main campus and the Colorado State University Translation Medicine Institute, Fort Collins.    NOTE: participating in our studies requires minimal contact and our team is vaccinated, masked, screened, and will be 6ft apart for most of the time  WHAT DO I GAIN?  Your participation in this study will help us better understand the processes of healthy brain aging, with the goal to help postpone or prevent cognitive impairment and dementia.  You will get reimbursed with $40-65 as an Amazon gift card (amount depends on the type of study/sessions completed) for your time and effort.
