Visual Art Classes

Drawing is more than a preparation for other arts, it’s a powerful tool of expression on its own. This course involves a mixture of media and surfaces, emphasizing drawing as an expressive abstract technique. Students will explore observation, gesture and line, freed from the constraints of representation.

Beyond still life or floral study, watercolor can be easily turned to abstract expression and mixed media art, opening doors to new creative ideas. This course offers a series of projects that reinforce the basics of the media while expanding your idea of what simple paper, water and color can do.
