CULTURE CONT’D
THE FOUR REVOLUTIONS OF THE
New! 18TH CENTURY
The 18th century was a time of great change in western soci-
ety. Four revolutions took place which transformed the world:
the American Revolution, the French Revolution, an industrial
revolution, and a scientific revolution. Alone, each of these
had a significant impact on global societies; however, taken
together they have absolutely created the modern world as
we know it. Come and let us explore each of these important
episodes in our history and how we are still affected by them.

$20 THREE LITTLE KNOWN WARS IN
U.S. HISTORY
Three wars in our nation’s history simply do not get the
attention that other “major” conflicts receive. These are: the
War of 1812, the Mexican American War, and the Spanish
American War. Yet each had lasting effects on our society. (In
fact our national anthem was written during a battle of one of
these wars!) Come and let us explore these little known wars
and why they deserve more attention! – Dr. Darryl Stevens

Although the line of kings and queens of this historic country
extends for hundreds of years, the royal family only began

ALTERED BOOKS/COLLAGE
Express yourself, have fun, and recycle a book headed for

it can lead to a discovery of the artist within. Many artists
get involved with making these books and journals to relax
and get ideas for other art projects. Students will learn how
to create a collage, how to choose and prepare a book for
altering, how to explore ideas for a theme, and how to use
several techniques for decorating the book. Most materials
are provided, but please bring a pair of sharp scissors and a
craft knife (Xacto knife). – Sue Supola
