Watercolor “Selfie”

Drawing and Painting

Drawing and painting are the foundation courses to studying and exploring art. Through pencil, ink, paints and even collage students explore creating lines, working 3 dimensionally, and exploring different ways “to see” objects and the world around us. Time in a drawing and painting class is also a great creative outlet from a busy world and builds on other mediums in art. 听Beginning Watercolor听starts you on a journey of exploring this medium that has engaged artists of all skill levels. This is a medium that you can take almost anywhere and enjoy. 听Introduction to Painting Studio explores a variety of “wet” materials on paper that include (but are not limited to) India Ink, acrylic paint, water color washes, pens, markers and more. Instructor led lessons will support your learning into the world of art and art history. 听Beginning Drawing Studio听starts the foundations of using “dry” materials that include drawing pencils and charcoal on paper. Students in this class will explore the different qualities and values a simple line may evoke as well as gaining the vocabulary for the basis of most discussions around art.
