The path to happiness and a good quality of life
As we grow older, we might realize that the things we enjoyed earlier in life aren’t accessible anymore. This might not be the case for you, but it’s important always to keep a mindful mindset and stay in touch with yourself and your feelings. If you have trouble doing that, a course from Future Learn might help you.
It’s totally free, and you can take it whether you are a member or not. Future Learn is an online website where you can find many educational resources for people of all ages, with a surprise list of courses that are always changing, so you never really know what you might get.
In this particular course, conducted by Graciela H. Tonon, a teacher at Universidad de Palermo, you will learn the concepts of happiness and quality of life for various age groups, from children to adults and senior citizens. As the course emphasizes, every single age group has a different way of reaching happiness.
Art essentials: learn watercolor painting basics
Watercolor painting is easier than you think. You must find a good professor. All you need is a good set of brushes, water, and watercolor paints, which are self-explanatory, cheap, and easy to find in craft or online stores.
This is a basic watercolor class provided by Skillshare, where you will learn all the secrets you need to paint like an artist! SkillShare advertised this class as one of their premium ones, meaning that, theoretically, you’d have to pay a premium membership to access it. But the site has a two-week free trial period for newcomers, which gives you plenty of time to access and complete this short course.
You will cover the basics of watercolor painting: how to use the paints on wet and dry paper, mix primary-colored paints, and make different kinds of textures using different brushes and tools. For further practice, the instructor will teach you how to use the example of shoes, which is super fun.
