Drawing is a foundational skill that is useful in all areas of the visual arts. Learn the basics of representational drawing including measuring and proportion, shading, perspective, and composition. Concepts are taught through instructor demonstration, student exercises, and individual guidance. The class culminates in the completion of a still-life drawing on the last day.

Drawing Fundamentals

Learn to make a multi-color screen print using the power of the sun. In this intro-level class, we’ll learn how to design and print a two to three-layer design using the sun to expose a screen, with no exposure unit necessary. We’ll experiment with color blends and layering techniques. This class provides an overview of the technical knowledge, materials, and equipment necessary to get started in screen printing.

Solar Screen Printing

If you haven’t painted in a while, dust off your brushes and join this class for painting sessions in a relaxed atmosphere. Work at your own pace with subject matter of your own choosing . . . portrait, pets, landscape, or still life. Oils and acrylic paints are welcome. Bring your own painting supplies, surface, and art reference images and the instructor will help you improve your painting techniques. Students will be working independently from their own reference material, so you are welcome to paint on your choice of surface and in either oil or acrylic paint. The instructor is there to help you individually become a better painter! Please bring your supplies to class each time.
