Art 101 - Fall Series

Sep 29th - Oct 27th, 2022 | Kerr Arts & Cultural Center

This popular series of art classes is designed for aspiring artists who want to try a particular medium, but want to learn more before buying all the supplies. 

Each class in this series covers one medium and will focus on small works that can be completed during that session. This is a wonderful chance to explore five different mediums in short “hands on” sessions with experienced instructors.

The classes will take place on successive Thursday evenings from 5:00 – 7:00 pm. All supplies for each class will be provided. Tuition: $40/session, $160/five sessions

The Series:

September 29 – Acrylic with Deanna Eixman
This is a great class for someone new to painting or for the artist wanting to explore the basics of acrylic painting. We will touch on the different types of acrylic paints and uses as well as what you need to get started. Be prepared to paint along with me as we work on your own painting to take home.

October 6 – Drawing with Ginger Cullins
In this class the student will learn how to draw the basic geometric shapes along with techniques to measure for drawing proportionally. Also being taught will be shading to show form using graphite pencils and a value scale. The student will be able to complete a drawing using all of these techniques.

October 13 - Watercolor with Kandi Stimson
The goal of this introduction to watercolor is to show students the basics of manipulating water and pigment on a canvas to make them dance and sing. Kandi will discuss supplies; brush techniques; mixing paints; washes; composition, and color theory. 

October 20 – Mixed Media with Phyllis Garey
It’s fun to experiment with different media to create your art! In this class you will learn several techniques that can be applied to both abstract and representational works using oil pastel, acrylic, water color, pen, pencil and collage. Please bring a photo or magazine picture and a hair dryer if you have one. I will have a couple also. I look forward seeing you!

October 27 – Pastels with Doug Garey
This class will be a brief introduction to the materials and methods used in pastel painting. A brief demonstration will be followed by participant opportunity to get acquainted with the medium. It’s fun!
