Adult Classes
Everyone can learn and make art! Many of the students that we have taught at senior centers have never taken art classes before. It is wonderful to see the speed at which progress is made, and the joy and pride that come with it.
Our approach is to draw upon the rich history of art for inspiration in our projects. We begin each class by looking at the work of past and present artists and use their art as a jumping off point for each project.
Painting Nature
Ages 16 and up
Every other Wednesday, 6:30pm-8:00pm
January 13, 27 • February 10, 24
$120 for 4-class series
What in nature moves you? Meeting every other week, we will begin each session by looking at an artist whose work was about their own personal take on nature.
We will talk about the lives of Georgia O’Keeffe, Arthur Dove and Lois Dodd and what inspired them. This will lead us to create our own interpretations of nature both in the school and at home using acrylic on canvas, watercolor, and ink on paper.
We will provide art materials in the school and can make recommendations for materials to use at home.

Painting and drawing the nude figure from direct observation has a long and illustrious history. We are delighted to be able to offer this practice, and are truly fortunate to have a wonderful model!
