Weekly Classes — Fall 2008
Acrylics — Get it Right from the Start
Kerry Didday
Monday, 10am to 12pm
Levels 1-5
Course code 917
Expand your experience as a painter and become a better artist! Every two weeks you will receive a directed lesson that provides you with the opportunity to express your creativity. The projects are easy and fun. Completely explore the world of acrylics and its endless possibilities. Learn about substrates, gels, compatible mediums, color theory, composition and different techniques. We will work on full sheets of watercolor paper or stretched canvas. Each week there will be an ongoing full class critique of the paintings as they progress. Be prepared for discovery through experimentation. If your goal is to become a better artist, I encourage you to sign up for the entire series, September through December, and receive the full impact of the class. Class meets four times per month.

Advanced Watermedia
Judi Dazzio
Tuesday, 9:30am to 4pm
Levels 3-5
Course code 906
This class will be trying new techniques and experimenting with new materials all summer. This has became a wonderful tradition for this class, and everyone has so much fun. You may find out that you are an Abstract painter or an Expressionist. You may find out that you love a media that you never though that you would like. This is the purpose of the summer. We try new things in new ways and have a lot of fun doing it. There is no pressure to produce great paintings, just to play and see what happens. This is one of the reasons so many creative, successful artists have come out of this program.
All classes taught by Judi Dazzio require a pre-registration
