PAINTING
|
Classes for beginner, intermediate and advanced students using watercolor, acrylic and oil paint are offered. From painting for beginners through more advanced study, students create projects that focus on expanding their knowledge and use of composition, design, color mixing and brush techniques.
Painting
All levels – must be 18 years or older
| Time: Monday and Wednesday 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. | Period: July 9 through August 1 |
This is a hands-on class that explores painting through practical applications and experiences that relate line, form, texture, and color, while also investigating how these visual relationships relate to the artist’s intentions and the meaning of the work. The projects will have some flexibility in order to accommodate both beginners and experienced painters. Students who want this class to have an independent study structure will be accommodated. The instructor will help each student with individual problem solving, along with brief lectures and critiques for the class as a group.
