Fundamentals of Drawing
Mondays, 6:30 – 8:30pm
Instructor: Paul Loehle
Tuition: $140
Drawing is the building block of all fine art, and anyone who can do it successfully can learn to do practically anything else... from painting to sculpting. This class will be devoted to learning the crucial basics of drawing while learning why it is important and what can be achieved with the skills of drawing. Beginners will get comfortable drawing from life and will learn proportional techniques, perspective, shading and value, and the tools and confidence to draw independently. More experienced students, and those who have already taken the course will get valuable practice, will learn tools to develop their abilities, and will have the opportunity to explore different media and techniques. For ages 12 to adult.
Silk Screen Printing
Tuesdays, 6 to 8pm
Instructors: Natalie Hager and Karen Overmyer
Tuition: $140
Printmaking is gaining popularity. This contemporary, yet nostalgic art form -- ranging from clean and contemporary designs to hand-made aesthetics -- can be used to create an original one-of-a-kind piece of art or a series of identical works. Over the course of eight weeks we'll practice and explore several techniques from monoprinting to screen printing. Along the way, we'll familiarize ourselves with the history of the screen printing process and the various other forms of printmaking. For ages 12 to adult. (Most needed tool and supplies are provided, but a suggested additional supply list is available).
World Drumming
Wednesdays, 6 to 8pm
Instructor: Charles Miller
Tuition: $120
Get into the beat! Beginners and more experienced musicians both will enjoy learning various drumming styles and techniques from Africa to the Americas with instructor Baba Charles Miller. Bring your own drum if you have one, but if not one will be provided. For ages 12 to adult.
