$27.00 per class drop-in fee/$108 monthly membership fee 

Thursdays (3:45 - 5:15)

In this class, students will learn the building blocks of observational artistic skills from the ground up. They will explore drawing, self-portraits, still life, and landscapes in a variety of media (charcoal, colored pencil, pastel, watercolor and acrylics), often referencing the work of famous artists who have mastered these approaches. The focus will be on finding each student’s strengths, building their individual style, and pushing their technique to the next level. Students will also be introduced to the idea of building a portfolio of their strongest works, either for themselves, or in order to apply to a visual arts program.

Working list of featured artists:

David Hockney and/or Leonardo – drawing

John Singer Sargent - portraits

Cezanne – still life

JMW Turner - landscape
