These classes will present inspiring artistic styles within an engaging studio setting, where participants will complete their art projects each session. By the end of each series, students will have a basic understanding of each style presented and will be able to draw from art history or use art styles of the past as a creative springboard for their own artwork and/or for an added dimension in appreciating art.

This series covers the Neoclassical, Romantic, Realism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism styles & movements, taught by instructor Linda Chappel, who has 15+ years of teaching college-level Art History combined with her own active studio art practice.

Drawing in Color: Composition

Learn how to arrange the elements of your drawing to make a visual statement with impact! Use color to enhance and punctuate the main event or message of your drawing. In this intermediate drawing class, we take the elements of design: line, shape, form, and color, from basic tools of description and learn to see them as essential abstract compositional components. Color often takes center stage and can either work toward or against your statement, find out how to make it all work together for strength and unity.
