Painting (In Wonderful Ways!)

CHILDREN, Ages 6-9

Sticks, corn cobs, string, paint brushes and sponges – we will use a wide variety of materials to drip, splatter, flick, dab and spread paint to create an image. Looking at artists such as Jackson Pollock and Pat Steir (seen in this photograph), we will see how the process of making art is key to its creation.

Sip and Paint

MUST BE 21 AND OVER

Focusing on a single painting by artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Georgia O’Keefe, we will complete a painting each session.

We’re open to suggestions on what to paint, so if you’re feeling an urge to paint a seascape, flowers, cityscape or something else, let us know and we can do that!

Come and have fun, make new friends, and paint and draw as you drink the beverage of your choice (BYOB).

Learning to Fly

CHILDREN, Ages 6-10

In this class our young artists will create work inspired by American artists Faith Ringold and Katherine Bradford. Taking from Ringold’s book Tar Beach they will make their version of a story quilt, imagining themselves flying above their homes with family, friends and pets as they survey the world below them. And looking at Bradford’s Super Girl paintings, they will depict themselves as super girls and super boys. Dreamy!

Bonnard’s Garden

CHILDREN, Ages 10-14

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was fascinated by color. In his paintings the sky would not necessarily be blue and the trees would not be brown and green.

Taking inspiration from his work, we will go outside and make sketches of the garden and grounds of the school, making note of the radical colors we wish to use in our compositions. We will then return indoors to make paintings on easels using acrylic paint on canvas.
