We will paint with several techniques and mediums, beginning with basic skills and use of tools and concluding with glazing using thinned acrylic paint and oil base crayons.

Anyone can use a rubber stamp, but that’s just the beginning.  We’ll teach the old rubber some new tricks, learn some nifty techniques, and even create our own stamps from everything from body parts to found objects to carving our own (older students only .)

Each day you will paint like a modern artist: Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, George Braque, Georges Seurat, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns

The history of beading, gemstones and precious metals will be covered in this class.  We will be creating and designing jewelry from stretchy bracelets to wire wrapped earrings.  It will be fun to exploring jewelry making from every day objects.

Develop your artistic skills and use of artistic principals through photography. This hands-on class will include photo shoots in the nearby park.  Training in the use of digital cameras and presentation of photos occur each day. Students must bring their own digital camera. 

Enjoy a week of learning to use watercolors to make exciting projects.  We’ll use everything in the art cupboard for line/design, washes, color-wheels, cartoons, landscapes; on & on & on……
