Find Your Artistic Voice – (All 2-D Mediums Welcome)
Friday, 12:45pm
March 28th – April 18th | Ages 16-99+

in ,

You’ve heard about this before, but how do you get there? How does one ‘find one’s voice?’

The class will focus on identifying students’ individual proclivities in art making, then emphasizing those in the work at hand. Mark making, drawing, composition, color, material handling, and intent will be addressed . Every artist has a ‘signature’ in their work; this class will help you discover yours.  Individual attention with each student in a shared studio is the focus.

All ages and skill levels welcomed! (There will be a group critique to conclude the class.)
