One Subject, Many Interpretations

$60

with Sharon Rubinstein

Calendar Next available session starts Apr 25, 2024 at 6 pm, runs for 1 week
4 additional sessions through May 23, 2024

Experiment, and see how a single subject can be depicted in many ways! Exploration, artistic growth, fun - these are the goals of this class. We will concentrate on a single object or grouping (with several available as choices) across multiple class meetings. For students returning from last season, there will be new set-ups. The materials offered, each in a separate session, include pastels; water-mixable oil paint or acrylic; pen; pencil/charcoal; and watercolor. We will use very different approaches, from figurative realism to impressionism, to cubism! Depending on the particular session, we will use lots of color or next to no color. The saying "A rose is a rose is a rose" is true - but they indeed can look different. Find out, and expand your artistic imagination and capacity across media. Register for just a few weeks, or sign up for all five and save 10% with promo code FIVE. This class is for adults and mature teens of all skill levels, and all materials are included.
