Canvas Painting

Saturdays: October 11, 18, 25, November 1; 1–3 pm 

Teaching Artist: Emily Mitchell 

Young artists will learn the basics of acrylic painting using a canvas and easel. Students will be guided to create both abstract and realistic paintings, learning to control the brush, mix new colors, and incorporate tints and shades to create realistic values. Gaining inspiration from the various painting styles found in the galleries, students will be encouraged to experiment with colors, shapes, and textures to bring their artistic visions to life! 

Sculpt-amentals 

Saturdays: November 8, 15, 22, 29; 1–3 pm 

Teaching Artist:Harrison Cook

Students will explore the structural and coloring techniques sculptors use when creating art in-the-round. We’ll start by sketching sculptures we see in the galleries from different angles, then return to the studio and build with clay, cardboard, and foam to bring our two-dimensional sketches to life! Learn the importance of an armature, ways to attach pieces together, and how to create unity with color.
