The ACA Community Education Program at SCAD-Atlanta embarks on a new era of arts education for artists, art lovers and patrons of the arts throughout the Atlanta community. Combining the enduring tradition of a century-old institution — the Atlanta College of Art — with the rich resources of the nation’s leading college of art and design — the Savannah College of Art and Design, the ACA Community Education Program now offers a program of study and personal enrichment with an even broader spectrum of courses, workshops, lectures and tours. The ACA Community Education Program is a quarterly program of open enrollment, non-credit, fine art and design courses for teens and adults that operates throughout the calendar year. Classes are offered in a variety of artistic disciplines and at all skill levels. Generally, classes meet once a week for three hours for a 10-week academic quarter. Most classes, tours and one- and two-day workshops are conducted on weekday evenings or on Saturday mornings or afternoons. There are no eligibility requirements to enroll in the ACA Community Education Program. However, there may be some instances in which a student is required to take a prerequisite course. Registration for ACA Community Education classes begins four weeks prior to the first week of regularly scheduled classes each quarter. Registration fees vary based on the nature of the class and must be paid in full prior to official enrollment in the ACA Community Education Program. Fall quarter registration begins on Monday, Aug. 14. Fall quarter classes begin the week of Sept. 18. For more information or to obtain a quarterly ACA Community Education course catalog, call 404.253.6814.

Suitable for a whole variety of uses and offering a perfect solution for just about every imaginable application - the pens and markers of the Lumocolor range are true standard-setters. Thanks to the innovative ink technology, products remain ready for use at all times, even when really put to the test, and excel with their long service life and superb writing and marking performance on all kinds of different materials.
I've taken to using these for my scribbling/designing on a Vellum pad with artsie markers. These pens are the BOMB. S, F, M and B sizes, get them all! STAEDTLER Lumocolor Pens/Markers |

Spanning the period between the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 and the years just after World War I, this novel moves from the labor troubles in Colorado to turn-of-the-century New York, to London and Gottingen, Venice and Vienna, the Balkans, Central Asia, Siberia at the time of the mysterious Tunguska Event, Mexico during the Revolution, postwar Paris, silent-era Hollywood, and one or two places not strictly speaking on the map at all. With a worldwide disaster looming just a few years ahead, it is a time of unrestrained corporate greed, false religiosity, moronic fecklessness, and evil intent in high places. No reference to the present day is intended or should be inferred. The sizable cast of characters includes anarchists, balloonists, gamblers, corporate tycoons, drug enthusiasts, innocents and decadents, mathematicians, mad scientists, shamans, psychics, and stage magicians, spies, detectives, adventuresses, and hired guns. There are cameo appearances by Nikola Tesla, Bela Lugosi, and Groucho Marx. As an era of certainty comes crashing down around their ears and an unpredictable future commences, these folks are mostly just trying to pursue their lives. Sometimes they manage to catch up; sometimes it's their lives that pursue them. Meanwhile, the author is up to his usual business. Characters stop what they're doing to sing what are for the most part stupid songs. Strange sexual practices take place. Obscure languages are spoken, not always idiomatically. Contrary-to-the-fact occurrences occur. If it is not the world, it is what the world might be with a minor adjustment or two. According to some, this is one of the main purposes of fiction. Let the reader decide, let the reader beware. Good luck. --Thomas Pynchon
So I guess that means have unti Dec. 5 to finish Ulysses. Amazon.com: Untitled Thomas Pynchon: Books: Thomas Pynchon |

Introduction With this tutorial I am going to guide you, stage by stage, through the methods I use to produce a rendering. I have developed this style over the past couple of years and find it the most simple and efficient way to produce a good drawing. Just remember however that there is no right or wrong way to render. This tutorial aims only to inspire... not to instruct!

The Tragedy of the Leaves : Charles Bukowski |

The Tragedy of the Leaves I awakened to dryness and the ferns were dead, the potted plants yellow as corn; my woman was gone and the empty bottles like bled corpses surrounded me with their uselessness; the sun was still good, though, and my landlady's note cracked in fine and undemanding yellowness; what was needed now was a good comedian, andcient style, a jester with jokes upon absurd pain; pain is absurd because it exists, nothing more; I shaved carefully with an old razor the man who had once been young and said to have genius; but that's the tragedy of the leaves, the dead ferns, the dead plants; and I walked into a dark hall where the landlady stood execrating and final, sending me to hell, waving her fat, sweaty arms and screaming screaming for rent because the world has failed us both.
