topics[0]="How I Teach\n\nJohn Holt, an educator, once said, \"We learn to do something by doing it. There is no other way.\"\n\nIn all these seminars you will learn by doing your own work. Our seminars are process oriented. What does that mean? It means that rather than creating some figure of mine which teaches you techniques, you work on your own design and I teach you techniques and processes that change how you see and enrich what you are doing.\n\nAs a result, you can retake or reread the same seminar over and over again, each time learning skills at new levels as your ability to see and visualize increases. This enhances your own creativity because you set the goals and subjects.";
topics[1]="Learning Art - The Benefits\n\n\tWhat are the benefits of learning art? You gain self confidence in your creative process. You spark your own passion for creating, which in turn improves your ability to see. Studying art adds new, simple ways to make your work and life more expressive, more passionate and full of excitement.\n\tIf you could improve your skills while having a great deal of fun and paying a reasonable price, would you do that? If so, read the Testimonials of what people say about Jane's seminars...";
topics[2]="The Seminars\n\n\tPresently, both my husband, Joe, and I are preparing and teaching seminars and courses on-line. For those of you who might miss these seminars or who prefer to study on their own, we put some of them on CD ROMS so that you may enjoy the benefits of taking the class at your own pace and time.\n\tThe full seminar sessions as presented in the on-line Courses are on the CD ROMs. You can read the material and do the exercises at your own pace. Each session of each seminar is available in an individual Adobe Acrobat Reader file format. The latest version of Adobe Acrobat is included on the CD. It is a free program and is useful for reading many other documents on the Internet.\n\tYou can read the material over and over on screen or you can print it and keep it in a notebook. Each seminar becomes a valuable resource and reference guide allowing you to continue to learn after your initial reading.";
topics[3]="Testimonials\n\n\n[Heads and Faces in Cloth]\n\n\t\"I just got back from Camp Doll U last night and wanted to thank you for the wonderful online class I took from you.\" The first half of this year enabled me to win the People's Choice Award at Camp Doll U. I was so excited.\n\tThe doll was made for the Joy of Creativity challenge and I used your method of doing a proportional clay sculpt of a real person, draping paper for a pattern, your method of needle sculpting and painting with D'UVA paints.\n\tEveryone loved the doll and most remarked on the expression and realism of the face. \"Whoopie!!!!!\" This is just why I took your classes on Heads/Faces in Cloth as well as Art Principles.\n\tThis is the same head I had posted during your class, so I thought you would be interested in seeing the final product. Kathy Goodwind was also at Doll U and swears by your sculpting methods. Jean Peeters\n\n\t\"Presentation-wise I was completely impressed by the Patterns class.\" The organization of subject matter was tops! And the hands on projects looked directly into the topic. Things only got better with the following two classes.\n\t\"I will recommend your classes to anyone at any level of dollmaking.\" They were particularly good for someone like myself, who is creative and artistic, but lacks a lot of the academic art fundamentals like anatomy and variations in paint techniques. These were areas I particularly appreciated. Diane Hadley, Artistic Consultant to the Brokaw Company in Los Angeles, CA\n\n\tIf your teaching was meant to teach a student how to see the world differently, count me as a success story. My husband and I were at the D-backs baseball game last night and I was people watching. What color would I dye the fabric to match their skin tones, tracing the planes in the faces, sculpting in the lines, looking at the shading in their faces. My husband suddenly turned to me and said he doesn't take me to the games so I can study for my classes!\n\tBut I can't help it. There are so many different types of faces there. I even tried to secretly photograph them or sketch them, so I could remember. Believe me, before this class I would not have even tried to draw a stick figure, I had such little confidence in my drawing ability. Now I know its not the drawing but just getting the jist of the message across.\n\tAnyways, what I was trying to say is you should put me in the success column. Pam Petryk, Fountain Hills, AZ\n\n\n[How to Photograph Your Art]\n\n\t\"You covered everything I wanted and more.\" I'm delighted I took the class and feel I can now move on to taking better photos because of the sharing of your knwledge and expertise... thank you, thank you. Joyce Patterson\n\n\tI used to look at a picture that I'd taken and wonder what I did wrong. I now know the answer! I am able to read the manuals with my cameras and with my software and understand what they are saying. Your cost-saving tips have saved me a lot of money, I am glad you warned us not to buy anything in the beginning. \"Thanks, Joe!\" Mary Ellen Asselin\n\n\tThank you for putting together a lot of complex info into a readable, organized format. All your sample shots throughout the sessions are especially valuable... They really made the difference for me in understanding the \"why\" of things. Again, thank you for a very well presented class. Barbara\n\n\tYou have given us much more than our money's worth and left us with a valuable resource for future reference. Thank you so very much. \"If ever there was one worth the money, this was it!\" Mary O Martin";
