 Teachers Earn Credit! Educators may take most of our classes or workshops for credit through California State University San Marcos (CSUSM). Classes listed with C (credit) are available for one unit of CSUSM credit. To register for credit, fees must be paid within the first two weeks of class. One unit of credit is $86 payable to CSUSM. California credentialed teachers can earn units for professional growth or toward a Supplementary Authorization in Art Education through SDMA and CSUSM by completing 11 one-unit courses each consisting of 15 hours of class time. There is no specific time limit in which to complete the Authorization. All classes are held at the Museum. The Museum Art School (MAS) is offering a limited number of scholarships for educators. For more information, please call (619) 231-1996 or email education@sdmart.org.

A5 Georgia O’Keeffe: An American Legend (C)
Wednesdays, Sept 3–24 Artist Georgia O’Keeffe is an American legend, but behind the myths, she was a woman whose appreciation for the simplicity of the world’s shapes, forms, and colors inspired artworks that made complex and enduring changes to the cultural landscape around her. This class will explore the personal language of O’Keeffe’s work and the impact of her choices to develop an alternative to imitative realism in her drawings and paintings. Discussions and lectures will be complemented by gallery visits to SDMA’s special exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe and the Women of the Stieglitz Circle. This class fulfills one unit toward the art history requirement in the Art and Creative Process Certificate program offered through UCSD Extension. To enroll, call UCSD Extension at (858)534-3400.
