Four week series focused on Acrylic Painting. Every Sunday from 2-4pm

adults/teens

Sunday April 7- 28

During these classes students will build their skills in acrylic painting. There will be different prompts and instruction each week. Laura will demonstrate how she approaches painting, and will focus on helping each individual find their strengths and build on them.

Week 1- intro to acrylic painting using a still life

Week 2- painting from a photograph

Week 3- prompt with “guidelines” for a painting- Students start to form their own vision

Week 4- students choose their own subject matter and style

During every class we will talk about building a studio practice, what it means to break “rules”, and how we can build skills to empower us to create our visions.

All Materials Provided

Teaching Values- my approach to teaching is to gently encourage students by showing them demos and encourage them to jump in and try without fear of failure. I don’t believe there is a right way or a wrong way to make art, and I think each individual has their own strengths and potential, and I hope to help them find that within themselves. All “bad art” leads to great art, and we need to make a ton of it to get where we want to go. It’s all journey!
