Have you ever wondered how and why the impressionist painted the way they did?&nbsp;
Would you like to learn to paint like an impressionist yourself?
Around the turn of the 20th century, there were dramatic changes in the art world. Where previous generations of artists once favored rigid techniques and spending thousands of hours in studios glazing hundreds of layers of paint, now artists aspired to create more immediate paintings and tried to more directly capture the world they saw.
This class, meant for students at all skill levels, will start from the ground up teaching students how to mix colors like the impressionists and introduce students to various techniques that evolved in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
All supplies are included with the class as students will be encouraged to try out different paints, brushes, and other painting materials throughout the class.&nbsp;
Syllabus
Week 1: Basics of composition
Week 2: Blending Color
Week 3: Breaking down paintings into achievable steps
Week 4: Finishing Painting!
Adult, all skill levels
 Participants 9
$200
Supplies: All supplies included

Collage is one of the most freewheeling and immediately satisfying art forms — all you need is paper, scissors, and a willingness to see what happens when things come together in unexpected ways. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore collage as a serious artistic medium, building layered compositions from found and personal materials. You’ll leave with one or more finished pieces and a set of techniques you can keep exploring on your own. Come with whatever inspires you — vintage maps, sheet music, decorative papers, magazine clippings, old drawings, unfinished artwork, wrapping paper, book pages. The more varied your materials, the more surprising your results. Not sure what to bring? Don’t worry — a generous selection of papers, maps, and printed materials will be provided. We’ll work on prepared surfaces and use acrylic medium for adhesion, with additional textures and embellishments available to add depth and dimension to your work. Level: All levels welcome, ages 13 and up No experience required — just an eye for what you find beautiful, interesting, or worth a second look.
Class size: 6 Fee: $100 + $15 materials fee paid directly to instructor
Materials provided by instructor: X-acto knives, cutting mats, acrylic medium, brushes, substrate papers, additional papers and ephemera, textures and embellishments. Materials fee: $15 paid to instructor (Zelle/Venmo/cash preferred). Students bring: Papers, images, or materials that inspire you — vintage, decorative, personal, or found

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints Northern Virginia</a> presents: “Folktales of Summer Forests,” with
 Brittany Warman, former instructor at Ohio State University and 
co-founder of the Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic.
Unique folklore emerges from the summer months, when the sun burns 
hot and nature bursts with full, lush beauty. Some of this lore is 
strange, some of it tragic, and some as beautiful as sunlight through 
branches.
Wander deep into the folklore of summer with Brittany Warman of the 
Carterhaugh School, an extraordinary educational organization which has 
earned a large and loyal following among Profs and Pints fans with its 
captivating talks on folktales, fairy tales, legends, and myths.
We’ll look at why the forest stands as the perfect setting for 
enchantment and mystery. It’s by turns a place of shade and rest and a 
place of uncertainty and fear. It can be dangerous, bountiful, tame, or 
wild. It shelters witches, fairies, monsters, and more under its 
branches.
From the forest come the legends of the illusive Green Man, the king 
of the woods. Also told are stories of sacred trees, hidden dances, and 
fairies who engage in midsummer abductions. Fairy tales like “The Witch 
in the Woods” and “The White Deer” tell of hidden doorways, magic rings,
 and cursed princesses.
Let Dr. Warman guide you through magical forests and you’ll emerge 
seeing the wonder in every leaf, stream, and wildflower. (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-summer-forests" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17, or $15 
with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes 
later.)&nbsp;&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Profs and Pints DC</a> presents: “Maintain Your Brain,” a
 research-based guide to nurturing your brain and staying sharp as you 
age, with Dr. Majid Fotuhi, adjunct professor of neuroscience at Johns 
Hopkins University’s Mind/Brain Institute and author of The Invincible Brain.
Most people assume memory loss is inevitable with age, but that’s not
 the case. Dramatic leaps forward in brain research over the past decade
 have produced a host of both surprising and actionable findings related
 to brain health and resilience.
If you are concerned about your brain’s long-term health or looking 
after aging parents, you won’t want to miss this upcoming Profs and 
Pints talk. The speaker, Dr. Majid Fotuhi, is a neurologist and 
neuroscientist who has spent four decades studying Alzheimer's disease, 
memory, and the science of brain resilience. He developed a 12-week 
clinical program that has helped hundreds of patients improve on 
objective cognitive tests and experience MRI-confirmed increases in the 
volume of their hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for 
memory and learning.
You’ll learn how the brain has a remarkable ability to grow new 
connections, increase in volume, and recover from years of neglect—a 
property called neuroplasticity. At the same time, even a single night 
of poor sleep causes a measurable buildup in the brain of amyloid, the 
protein linked to Alzheimer's.
Dr. Fotuhi will describe how our understanding of neuroplasticity has
 greatly increased since ten years ago, when the prevailing view in 
medicine was that the adult brain is essentially fixed, a finished 
product that could only decline with age. Thanks to subsequent clinical 
trial data we now know that what we eat, how we sleep, whether we 
exercise, how we manage stress, and how much cognitive simulation we 
experience all directly reshape brain structure and function. Efforts to
 tend to these areas can improve memory scores and reverse early 
cognitive decline in people who were already showing Alzheimer’s 
symptoms.&nbsp;
These are not small effects seen in obscure journals. Many of these 
findings come from institutions like Harvard, the Mayo Clinic, and the 
National Institutes of Health, and they are reshaping how neurologists 
think about prevention and treatment.
Among the questions Dr. Fotuhi will tackle: Is Alzheimer's disease 
really preventable? Can you reverse early memory loss with lifestyle 
changes alone? Why does chronic stress quietly damage your brain even 
when you feel fine? (<a href="https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/dc-maintain-your-brain" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Advance tickets</a>: $13.50 plus sales tax and
