Art Appreciation: Impressionist Painting: an introduction
The course provides an introduction to Impressionist painting in France in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The course uses a selected number of paintings including work by Claude Monet and Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas and Berthe Morisot together with a number of lesser known artists.

The selection will encourage a focus on the paintings with themes and attentions implied in the course title, from working with sketches in the studio to painting in the open air.

Personal Development: Introduction to Different Perspectives on Mental Health
We will explore the experience of mental distress from four very different viewpoints. Each has something to offer, none has the whole story.
· The Biological aims to understand what is going on in the brain and the body. It underpins the medical model.
· The Psychological perspectives seek to explain our mental states in terms of our thinking, feelings and habits. It’s all in the mind.
· The Social perspective shifts the focus away from the individual. It is society that needs to change.
· A Spiritual perspective goes beyond our limited sense of self to seek deeper meaning in our life journey.
