Adults
Our 8 week Spring Semester for adults starts on Monday, March 31.
There's a class here for you, no matter what your experience. Some of
our students can't remember the last time they explored their "artistic
side". Others are quite far along in their artistic ventures.
We go out of our way to make you feel comfortable in developing that part
of you that wants to be creative.
Adult classes are for students aged 17+.
Sumi-e Brush Painting: Birds and Flowers - cherry blossoms, daffodils, and wisteria.

Have you been thinking of taking an art course
but have little or no experience? This drawing course is for you. You will learn to
see as an artist sees, strengthening your skills of drawing and expression, using
a variety of drawing techniques. You will develop the illusion of 3-dimensional
form and space, observing the qualities of light and shading in the still life,
and work with creative exercises to broaden your experience. With individual
instruction and gentle group critiques, you will develop your awareness of
composition through the use of elements and principles of art.
Instructor: Sally Caswell or Mary Ann Rossoni 8 weeks (20 hours)

Introduction to Drawing the Figure (Beginning and Intermediate)
for Adults
Friday evenings, 6:30 - 9:00 pm
Starts Friday, April 4
Do you want to expand your understanding of drawing and explore drawing the human figure? Are you interested in working from the live model in an encouraging and explorative environment? In this 4-week drawing seminar, you will learn to use charcoal as a drawing material, to approach drawing the human figure through simple techniques, and to use identifying visual landmarks on the body to make natural looking and proportional figure drawings. Unlike an anatomy class, our focus will be on only what we can visually observe on the figure. This is a fun approach to remove some of the mystery around how to draw the human figure.
A short materials list will be provided to help
in your exploration.
