Welcome to the Keyboard! This course is designed for students who have little or no keyboarding experience. Students will learn proper keyboarding techniques for keying alphabetic, numeric and alphanumeric data with speed and accuracy. It’s not about how “fast” you type, it’s about how “right” you type. One of the most important reasons for teaching keyboarding is to provide technical skills. Keyboarding has become a necessary skill for education, most careers and just everyday life!  It has become an integral part of social relationships, helping to support email, social media, and other forms of communication.

This is a comprehensive course in all aspects of transparent watercolor techniques with an emphasis on local Ozark landscape, flora & fauna as the subject matter. Course is suitable for all levels of experience, beginners and beyond.

List of supplies students will need to have prior to class start are available upon request from Duane Hada’s Rivertown Gallery. Email: duanehada@rivertowngallery.com or call (870) 425-3898

 Instructor Bio:

Duane Hada brings a unique, aesthetic appreciation to the sport of angling. Duane credits his life-long passion as artist and angler to being raised close to nature in the rural Ozarks’ Buffalo River country. Growing up surrounded by some of God’s greatest handiwork fuels the creative inspiration that has blended beautifully into a career as both angler and artist. When asked about his vocation, he’ll quickly tell you some days he’s an artist who guides, and some days he’s a guide who paints. Either way, his clients cherish another memory of a great day spent on the water. Duane’s recognition as both artist and angler has been honored with numerous awards and accolades, locally as well as nationally. His art has graced trout stamp designs, wildlife calendars, trout regulation manuals, and Nature Centers. A very prolific artist, Duane’s originals adorn banks, famous trout and saltwater lodges, as well as the Governor’s mansion special selection.

His highly sought after art has helped raise funds for FFF, Trout Unlimited, The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, St. Jude’s Hooked on a Cure, and numerous other conservation groups and organizations. He is the illustrator for Ozark Trout Tales, Home Waters, and created the popular 2005 Arkansas Game & Fish Foundation license plate with a White River rainbow trout scene. His angling peers have honored him with the first fly-rod Master Angler Award from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission in 1989. He received the Silver Medal for the coaching the US Youth fly fishing team in the FIPS Mouche International Fly Fishing Competition in Wales. His art and fly fishing has allowed him to travel and experience many of the great angling destinations of the world. Duane’s clients are often eager to have their outdoor adventures memorialized by him. His sketches, acrylics or watercolors frequently become prize possessions as souvenirs for his angling friends. Upon receiving his recently finished original, one client stated, “I have an original piece of art that will forever refresh that special day on the river.  It’s like having a modern day Winslow Homer”.

Let two knowledgeable local guides teach you to fly fish, in a safe and comfortable environment. Subjects include fly casting, water safety, equipment, knots, rigging, four basic fly fishing techniques, reading water, and fly selection. No equipment is needed. Rods and reels are provided at each class meeting or you may bring yours. Learn everything you need to fish on your own.

Class will be held Dryer Hall 1st Floor, Room D106

Instructor Bio:

Hola! My name is Vanesa Roberts.  I was born and raised in Argentina.  I love learning about different cultures and the magic of language.  I started teaching in Argentina and with all the years I have already been in the USA, I add up to over 20 years of experience in the field of education.  In my free time, I like to be with my family.  We love to travel, and whenever we have a chance, we go camping and hiking.  Bakeries are a must-stop at our destinations, especially those with European or Argentine-style pastries. Let’s say that music, friends, adventure, faith, as well as dancing, baking, teaching, laughing, and spending tons of time with my family makes me the person I am today.  What about you?  Are you ready for this Spanish adventure?  Let’s do it!
