2410 Beginning Acting: Improvisational Theater and Acting
5 units	T/F, 1:00-4:30	Gary Graves	$407
Nobody hands you a script for life--you have to improvise your way through it. In this course, through improvisational scene work, theater games, and story telling, students will develop their ability to act and interact freely and perceptively. They will have the opportunity to study acting techniques and work at short scenes, learning to trust their abilities in new, untried situations, and taking risks that help develop confidence in their ability to think on their feet, whether in school, social or dramatic situations. They will also discover how to become more aware of their environment and how to be supportive of others. Improvisational theater helps students expand their creativity and, therefore, influences every area of life and studies. Homework per class meeting: 2 hours

2412.1 Introduction to Drawing and Design (AM)
10 units MWF, 8:30-12:00 Vaishali Wagh $582
FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE COMPLETED GRADE 7, 8, OR 9
In this class students will develop their observational as well as their drawing and design skills through the use of various media. Observation, drawing and painting are the first steps to composition, color, mood, and concepts. This course will give students the tools they need to convey their ideas through drawing. Students will explore form, color, and graphic design through various media such as pencils, charcoal, pen and ink, pastel, watercolors, and clay to create drawings, paintings, sculptures, block prints, collages and pastiches. Students will work from nature, models, and their imaginations. Assignments will include: self portraits; sketches of familiar, favorite, and unusual objects; pastiches of Piranesi drawings; collages; textile design; drawings of imaginary creatures and cartoons; and illustrations of a children's book.
Classes will include: in-class exercises and drawing from nature and in the studio; lectures and presentations on the history of art and design; reviews and critiques of student work by local artists; visits to local museums and galleries; and guest lectures. No previous drawing experience is necessary.

10 units MWF, 1:00-4:30 Kazumi Yahata-Pettersson $582
This course is based on a fun, relaxed, playful, and effective approach to learning Japanese.

The two major components of this course are: (1) acquisition of basic communication skills of elementary Japanese and (2) learning hiragana and katakana syllabaries as well as some kanji characters. The language is taught multimodally: lots of physical movement, use of pictures and graphics, conversation practices, story telling, and some story creating. Students also learn about modern Japanese life. This course is equivalent to one year of high school Japanese.
Homework per class meeting: 5-6 hours

The course will include a comprehensive review of katakana and kanji we have already learned, and the introduction of much more kanji. Emphasis will be placed on consolidation of listening and speaking skills; the additional grammar and constructions will advance students' understanding even further. In addition to our focus on learning the language, we will learn about culture and customs in contemporary Japanese life. This course covers the full content of second-year high school Japanese.
Homework per class meeting: 5-6 hours
