SUMMARY:Journey of Poetry
DESCRIPTION:INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Cynthia Childress\nTIME: Four Thursdays\, April 18\, April 25\, May 2\, May 9\, 6:00–9:00 p.m. CDT\nPRICE: Early bird price: $150 for members\, $180 for nonmembers. The deadline for early bird pricing is Thursday\, November 2. After Thursday\, November 2: $180 for members\, $210 for nonmembers. Become a member here. Apply for a scholarship here.\nLOCATION: Online via Zoom\nLEVEL: All levels\nCAP: 15\nPoetry uses language in a way that is not available to us in everyday life. As with a song\, a poem can elevate and capture a specific experience—an image\, memory\, or sensation—and connect people in a powerful way. Whether you are a practiced poet or a total “newbie” who has just wondered what poetry is “about\,” this workshop will provide a jump-start to get you into a writing practice. Come join us in a supportive\, inspiring workshop environment in which we will explore formal poetry\, free verse\, spoken word\, and experimental poetry from a wide range of contemporary authors. We will also study a broad array of craft techniques\, including how to use line breaks\, stanzas\, and sound to heighten meaning. Writers from marginalized communities (writers of color\, writers with disabilities\, writers from the queer and LGBT community) are encouraged to attend.

SUMMARY:Innovations in Italian Art
DESCRIPTION:The Italian Cultural & Community Center is proud to present an all new art history lecture series exploring three of Italy’s most pioneering artists: Giotto\, Caravaggio\, and De Chirico. We are delighted to welcome back instructor Francesca Lanza for Innovations in Italian Art\, this May at the Italian Cultural & Community Center. Three classes\, three incredible artists.\nThe first class will examine Giotto\, one of the first artists to give a new direction to art in Late Medieval Italy. Breaking with the stylized traditions of Byzantine art\, Giotto drew from real life with a more natural style and three-dimensional quality. We will explore some of his most famous works: the Scrovegni Chapel\, the Assisi frescoes\, and a number of panel paintings.\nThe second class will focus on Caravaggio\, one of the most controversial artists in the Italian art world. With his dramatic compositions and liberal employment of the chiaroscuro technique\, Caravaggio influenced generations of artists throughout the continent\, including Peter Paul Rubens\, Rembrandt\, and Bernini.\nThe third and final class will explore the work of Giorgio De Chirico\, one of the biggest names in twentieth-century Italian art. Influenced by the Surrealist movement\, De Chirico founded the Metaphysical Art movement in 1910. He is best known for his enigmatic paintings like The Disquieting Muses. Salvador Dalì and René Magritte were among the many artists to take inspiration from De Chirico.\nFrom the Middle Ages to the twentieth century\, we look forward to exploring the wonderful world of Italian art with you.\nSchedule\nMonday\, May 6\, 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.\nMonday\, May 13\, 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.\nMonday\, May 20\, 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.\nTickets\n$75 ICCC Members | $100 General Admission\nMeet Your Instructor\nFrancesca Lanza was born in Savona\, Italy. She has a master’s degree in History of Arts and Management of Cultural Heritage. In Italy\, she worked as a museum educator and enjoyed teaching art. In 2015\, she moved to Boston\, Massachusetts to follow her husband. There\, she worked at the local museum of fine arts. At the end of 2016\, she moved to Houston\, where she started to teach private and group classes at the ICCC for students of all ages. She loves teaching Italian language and culture and shares her passion for Italian culture and art with students of all ages. Her most recent courses at the Italian Cultural & Community Center include The Meaning behind the Masterpieces and The Wonders of Italian Art: Veneto and Southern Italy.\nCancellation Policy\nTuition is non-refundable\, but we offer tuition credit toward a future group class if you cancel 48 hours in advance of the start of the first class. Tuition credit is valid for six months from the start date of the course. If you cancel less than 48 hours in advance\, your tuition payment will be converted into a tax-deductible donation to the Italian Cultural & Community Center. You may cancel by phone at (713) 524-4222\, ext. 2.\nThis event is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.

From the foundation to the frame to the roof\, each structural element is separate yet integral to the whole.\nIn this six-week revision workshop\, award-winning author Patrick Stockwell will lead students in close readings of both published fiction and students’ own work. Through our detailed readings\, we will study stories like architects\, element by element\, to develop a deeper understanding of story design and strengthen each flaw as it is found. Using skills practiced in class\, students will develop systems of revision that will result in consistently better\, more cohesive drafts of their work.\nAttendees should come prepared with a fiction draft they would like to revise.\nThis event is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. This project is generously funded by the Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs\, and Mid-America Arts Alliance.\nThis event is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.

SUMMARY:Journey of Poetry
DESCRIPTION:INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Cynthia Childress\nTIME: Four Thursdays\, April 18\, April 25\, May 2\, May 9\, 6:00–9:00 p.m. CDT\nPRICE: Early bird price: $150 for members\, $180 for nonmembers.

Apply for a scholarship here.\nLOCATION: Online via Zoom\nLEVEL: All levels\nCAP: 15\nPoetry uses language in a way that is not available to us in everyday life. As with a song\, a poem can elevate and capture a specific experience—an image\, memory\, or sensation—and connect people in a powerful way. Whether you are a practiced poet or a total “newbie” who has just wondered what poetry is “about\,” this workshop will provide a jump-start to get you into a writing practice. Come join us in a supportive\, inspiring workshop environment in which we will explore formal poetry\, free verse\, spoken word\, and experimental poetry from a wide range of contemporary authors. We will also study a broad array of craft techniques\, including how to use line breaks\, stanzas\, and sound to heighten meaning. Writers from marginalized communities (writers of color\, writers with disabilities\, writers from the queer and LGBT community) are encouraged to attend.

Or an experimental piece you wrote that you felt was a one-off?

SUMMARY:Quilting Together Your Scraps and Pieces of Writing
DESCRIPTION:INSTRUCTOR: Jessica Cole and Jamie Portwood\nTIME: Sunday\, May 19\, 3:00–6:00 p.m. CST\nPRICE: Early bird price: $45 for members\, $60 for nonmembers. The deadline for early bird pricing is Monday\, May 13. After Monday\, May 13: $55 for members\, $70 for nonmembers. Become a member here. Apply for a scholarship here.\nLOCATION: Hybrid. Writespace\, 1907 Sabine Street\, #125\, Houston\, TX 77007 (map). This workshop is also available via Zoom.\nLEVEL: All levels\nCAP: 15\nAnyone else have scraps of writing just sitting in the Google drive or an overstuffed notebook? Short pieces consisting of a single\, sharply drawn memory or some lovely lines from a poem that was never finished. Do you have paragraphs from memoir pieces or stories that you just couldn’t delete because they are so true and truly beautiful?\nWhat do you do with them all? They seem so random and disjointed?\nThese pieces do all have something in common; you wrote them and you like them\, so we are going to have an old fashioned quilting bee. Through collective wisdom\, mentor texts\, generative exercises\, and group sharing\, we will seek out the colors\, themes\, patterns\, and images and patch together these seemingly disparate scraps into a quilt of surpassing beauty. Will it be a poem? An essay? A hybrid piece that defies genre but hits the heart just right? Who knows?\nLet’s find out together. Bring printed copies of your favorite scraps\, blank 8X10 paper\, tape\, and a pair of scissors.\nThis workshop can be taken in person at the studio or online via Zoom.\nThis event is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. This project is generously funded by the Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs\, and Mid-America Arts Alliance.\nThis project is generously funded by Mid-America Arts Alliance\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the state arts agencies of Arkansas\, Kansas\, Missouri\, Nebraska\, Oklahoma\, and Texas.
