On Tuesday, March 1st at 10:00am, we will begin an 8 Week Creative Drawing Class taught by Sharon Schmiedel. ~Sharon has a BFA in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art and spent many years working in technical illustration, medical illustration, and graphic design. Now she is spending much of her time painting and entering numerous juried shows. She enjoys teaching and sharing her knowledge of art with others. ~Students who didn’t take the first session but have some drawing experience are also welcome. In this class you will continue to learn to see as an artist does. Learning to draw is a process; letting go and trusting the process can be liberating and bring out your creativity. There will be demos and guidance with drawing exercises that will build on what you’ve previously learned. Direction will be offered, but students will be encouraged to experiment and develop their own style. ~You will need to bring a sketchpad, pencils, vine or willow charcoal, and an eraser to the first class. ~Space is limited so register today. ~The class will cost $32.00 and is due at the first class. ~This class is open to all members. Call (860)434-1605 ext. 240 to sign up.

This class begins February 29th. and is open to new and continuing students of all levels. We will explore a variety of watercolor techniques.

Students will also gain an understanding of how to use warm and cool colors, plus values to develop strong compositions. The class environment encourages a playful approach and is a safe place to try out and exchange ideas and develop your style. This class will cost $32.00 due at the first class.  You MUST pre-register as space is limited.  Call (860)434-1605 ext. 240 to preregister.  Contact Stephanie at Senior Center for supply list for first class.
