The Hear Center will be doing free hearing screenings. Insurance representatives will be on hand to show different Medicare Health Plans, and answer questions that you may have. On the patio vegetables will be distributed. Nutritious foods will be available to visitors at the Pasadena Senior Center. We recommend that you bring bags or a cart to take your produce home. CREATIVE SKETCHING Friday, December 20 at 2:00 p.m. In this class we will focus on imaginative sketchbook work where creativity takes the lead over traditional drawing techniques. While some drawing experience is helpful, it is not required as we will explore personal expression and cultivate curiosity through experimentation. Don’t worry about “not being able to draw a straight line”…here we will embrace imperfection! Classes will include playful prompts, guided exercises and supportive feedback to spark inspiration and help tune into your creative voice, overcome artistic blocks and build a joyful (and sometimes therapeutic) sketchbook habit. Expect to walk away with a sketchbook filled with artwork personal to each individual and the tools to keep your creative flame alight wherever it leads you. A list of required class supplies can be found at the Welcome Desk. Registration is required.
