We are thrilled to announce the launch of our art classes at the brand-new Madeline Pargh Arts and Crafts Center. Beginning October 10 and running through November 28, we invite you to embark on a creative journey with our talented instructors.
Artist, Rhonda Polen Wernick will offer an oil painting class for artists of all levels who are looking to hone their painting skills. Rhonda will guide you in developing your unique style. This immersive 3-hour class, held every Tuesday, will cover essential topics such as palette setup, color mixing, composition, contrast, and brushwork.
Discover the enchanting world of watercolors with artist Kim Lane. Running from October 12 through December 7, this 3-hour class on Thursdays will introduce you to the art of creating vibrant watercolor compositions. Throughout the course, we will explore the use of semi-moist and liquid watercolor pigments.
Artist Amie Pike invites you to embrace abstract art. Held on Monday evenings from October 23 to November 27 at 6-7PM, this class will guide you to explore various materials and learn new techniques and processes. Gain the confidence to develop your own abstract visual language and personal style using line, shape, and color to create visually stunning works. In addition to her adult class, Amie, an art teacher at St. Cecilia Academy, will be offering an exciting “Art Masters” class for children in grades 1-3 which will run on Thursdays, 4-5:15PM from October 26 through December 1. This class will introduce young artists to the world of master artists, providing inspiration for their own art masterpieces. Each class will focus on a different artist and teach various techniques using paint, watercolor, oil pastels, and collage.
To ensure a personalized learning experience, class sizes will be kept small, typically no more than 8 students in a class. Keep an eye out for new classes as we continue to expand our offerings.
