Hello! This series of posts will hopefully give you a quick look at our classes by category. For this one:

Y is for Yellow
Teacher: Carla Sonheim
In 2016 we ran “Y is for Yellow” as a year-long class, and it’s now available as a self-study. By giving it to you all at once, you can pick and choose the lessons that are particularly interesting to you to start, and leave the rest for later (you have forever access!). In this class we will march through the alphabet as a fun way to move through our lessons (“P” is for Picasso! “C” is for Collage!), while tackling the more serious question, “How do you create a body of work?”
As mixed-media artists we are always trying new media and experimenting with new techniques — which is awesome! But what can happen is we don’t take the time to focus long enough on the things we really love so that we can create a cohesive series that is uniquely ours.
“I loved this course – it expanded my perspective and perception.” — Tina M.

Translating Landscape
Teacher: Anita Lehmann
Anita believes that the landscape is a gentle way of exploring the elements that are integral to making meaningful work: line, value, color, shape, edges, composition. She also believes that drawing connects us to our experience with an intimacy not otherwise possible.
The joyful and fun exercises will include experimental mark making, design studies, grid paintings — all working up to larger paintings. We will work with an small “orchestra” of simple materials to help maintain a loose and more abstract mindset.
“Wonderful class! It was eye-opening and very entertaining!” — Suzanne O.

Sketchbooking with Lewis Rossignol
Artist and Illustrator Lewis Rossignol shares his thoughts, techniques and (most importantly) his spirit of experimentation about the intimate practice of working in a personal sketchbook.
“This class has changed how I view my art practice. Lewis made everything I was afraid to do seem possible.” — Lin L.
