Art can express a variety of human feelings, from joy at the birth of a child to confusion at the birth of a man-child. Eloquently articulate your emotions with today's Groupon: for $20, you get a painting class at daVino & daVinci in Johnson City (a $45 value). Instructors guide beginner brush-wielders through creatively calculated strokes, ensuring each student leaves class with a 16"x20" acrylic new best friend. Students sign up for three-hour classes based on which painting they would like to will into existence, with possibilities including the artful artichoke and starry night. In addition to all materials, bottle openers and glasses are provided for students who bring beverages and snacks to lubricate the pistons of creative genius. Registered students can swing by the TASTE contemporary art gallery one hour before class to explore the sculpture garden and partake in a free tasting. Every newly discovered artist takes home his or her own 16"x20" acrylic painting on canvas to place atop a mantle or back up claims of Pictionary prowess.
Classes are for those age 14 and up.

Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Road Trips
Break parole in the best way possible with these road tips for road trips:
Destinations: Nowhere to go? Pick where you're going at random by playing spin the bottle with maps instead of people. Once you've french kissed your destination, it's time to hit the road, literally. Now bandage up your hand and drive away.
Pit Stops: When fueling up, take an extra few minutes to fill your trunk up with gas so you don't have to stop again. Before doing this, make sure to move your lit candles and sun-dried fireworks to the backseat so they don't accidentally get wet.
Friendships: Bond with fellow passengers by playing a game of Celebrity Toll Booth, in which everyone in the car places toll booth operators into the categories of either John Goodman or Whoopi Goldberg.
Note: If you are by yourself, don't even bother going on the trip. The open road is no place for self-discovery.
