includedClass Experience
Ever wonder how artists become so famous? During this weekly subscription class, we will learn about various artists ranging from the Masters like Picasso and DaVinci to Street Artists. Lessons are in no particular order. After the informational slideshow and/or videos, learners will get to create their own version of the art that may reflect the same techniques that was introduced. Students are encouraged to use the medium they desire. Like all art, individual style is celebrated. Artist freedom is encouraged! No prior art experience is needed. At the end of class, we will have a quick (optional) “Gallery” showing of our masterpieces showing off our artistic talents. Please note: This class is ongoing and no attendance to prior classes is required. Feel free to pop in anytime!
