Come explore your artistic side while learning about the elements of art along with art history to support the lesson. Each class will begin with a mini introduction to an artist, followed by a demo, and then a hands-on project. This course is great for older kids who are looking to deepen their interest in art, an adult with no previous art experience or an accomplished artist who’s just looking to freshen up on various techniques and materials. All levels are welcome! Let’s create!!!
