Everyday Art is pleased to offer a special drawing and painting instruction series beginning October 9th. You'll find details below followed by our fall arts & crafts class offerings, Rock~Paper~Scissors.
Everyday Art is privileged to present the 10-week series…Painting to Improve at Every Level
with Richard Copeland
It has been said that 10,000 hours of practice are required to perfect a craft, raising it to the level of art. No matter what you imagine your level to be - beginning, intermediate, or advanced - if you feel the need for growth and improvement - this course is for you.
We will examine every element that makes a painting a painting, while honing our critical thinking skills:
size
shape
surface
under painting, and why
composition
drama
contrast
palette
tensions
some color theory
positive & negative interchange
the hook
misdirection
and, finally:
the Idea - getting the viewer into your head
All of the above points were accumulated from five years at one of the country’s finest art schools - the Corcoran, and years of studio application. In this class, we will move from the charcoal sketch to the use of acrylics in a technique of washes and layers. A materials list will be discussed at the first session.
Visual art is found in every aspect of our designed environment: apart from nature in its undeveloped form, nothing can be found that wasn’t touched by an artist!
From Drawing to Painting, for Kids
with Richard Copeland
This class is for young people age 9 and above. We will follow a format similar to the one described for adults. Each student will progress at his/her own pace - so each student may begin this class from whatever level of experience they have at the moment.
Drawing skills and practice will be emphasized, and will determine each student’s readiness to paint.
CLASS SCHEDULE & FEE:This class series is scheduled for Thursdays beginning October 9th through December 18th (We will not meet on November 27 for the Thanksgiving holiday.)
Adults will meet from 6-8 pm fee: $150
Youth will meet from 4-5:30 pm fee: $120
Registration is required. You may pay ½ the total fee upon registration or on the first day of class with the balance due November 13.
