Welcome to Meredith Browne's Winter 2024 courses!
Creativity and the Artist's Life gives you the chance to learn a little bit about the art of different eras and cultures.
The Author, The Artist, and the Other is an examination of the idea of genius, the formation of literary and artistic canons and how identity and representation intersect. What will we do?There will be reading what experts have to say, writing based on your research, discussions in class, and group activities.
There will also be chances to visit art in real life in museums and to try out some of the techniques we are reading about.

What is Drawing Club?
A fun and relaxed group that gets together to work on our drawing skills and talk about art. No experience/special equipment needed. Who is welcome? Anyone who has been in one of my classes. (If you haven't and want to join us, send me an MIO.) About me: I did a BA in Visual Arts and Liberal Studies and a Masters in Fine Arts at the University of British Columbia. Although I teach Humanities now, the very first course I taught at university was a studio art class. You can see some of my paintings here. |

Study Tips to Try
Explain to someone what you learned today.
(Long wait in line? Boring dinner conversation? You can liven things up!)
Write in your textbooks.
(Yes, I know it feels wrong, but it helps you focus and helps you find important bits later on.)
Make connections between course material and your life or imagination.
(Compare past ideas about love, satire, medicine, etc. to our world now.)
