This class is limited to 16 people and a waitlist will be started once full. Heartsaver CPR AED teaches participants how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) safely and effectively, based on the latest science-based guidance from the American Heart Association. The Heartsaver Bloodborne Pathogens course is designed specifically for workers with a reasonable chance of coming into contact with bloodborne pathogens.

Students will learn: protecting yourself from blood or blood-containing materials and bodily fluids; cleaning areas that have blood or blood-containing materials and bodily fluids; first aid basics; medical emergencies; injury emergencies; environmental emergencies; preventing illness and injury; adult CPR and AED use; opioid-associated life-threatening emergencies; child CPR/AED and infant CPR.

Each student receives a certification in CPR, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogens from the American Heart Association, as well as textbooks and a pocket facemask.

This training will be provided by Local One member-trainers.

AI has permeated nearly every aspect of daily life. Most tools are now imperceptible to the user, from curating photo memories, to ""nudging"" emails to the top of our inboxes, to autocompleting our texts messages. This workshop's goal is to help make visible and accessible the AI tools available to union designers, helping us confront opaque practices in AI with an intentional mindset, keeping current with new technologies in a rapidly changing creative landscape. By developing AI literacy, we can empower designers to make informed and ethical choices, using AI in ways that strengthen rather than undermine our professional design practices.

Objectives:
1. Define and understand key terms used in AI, including model, training, bias, checkpoint, LoRA, prompt, inpainting, upscaling, and closed-cloud vs. local/open-source workflows.
2. Identify the wide range of AI tools available for theatrical design previsualization and cross-departmental communication, understanding when each is most appropriate.
3. Exercise basic prompt and image-edit techniques in accessible tools like Google Gemini, Midjourney, Photoshop's Generative Fill, and other cloud models.
4. Understand advanced offline workflows enough to enable collaboration with USA 829 Computer Artists who have begun to specialize in Generative AI.
5. Identify key ethical, legal, labor, consent, confidentiality, cultural, environmental, and authorship concerns, with an understanding of the designer's responsibility toward disclosure and risk mitigation.
6. Understand the need for human authorship, revision, and constant intervention in the creation of any AI output which will be audience-facing.

"This class is geared towards Production Designers, Concept Artists, Scenic Artists, Graphic Designers and Art Directors, or anyone who wants to bring their ideas to life, with intuitive drawing and painting tools of Procreate on the Apple iPad.
The students will practice sketching, drawing and painting, following along with the instructor. During this practice the students will learn:
•    The basic interface
•    Using the brush menu//layer/palette
•    Using Assisted Drawing Guides such as Perspective and Symmetry
•    Drawing and Painting fundamentals
•    Painting Light
•    Using Reference
The class will cover as many concepts and techniques as time will allow. This 2 hour session will serve as a gateway to drawing and painting by hand and having fun doing it.
This workshop will be taught by a concept illustrator Michael Blank, who's worked on productions such as Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, Goosebumps, King Shaka and Hershey.  
Requirements:
iPad Pro and iPad Pencil(no knock-offs)
Latest version of Procreate"
