Students will expand their drawing and painting skills as well as learn about contemporary and historic approaches to art.  Dividing our weeks into thirds, we will first draw with graphite, charcoal, and ink.  Watercolor and gouache techniques and later acrylic or oil painting will then be explored.  Subjects include still life, landscape, portrait, the human figure, abstraction, and student ideas. A suggested supply list will be provided. You may choose to rely on the instructor for some supplies for a fee of $30. More info: denise.dittmar@gmail.com. For ages 13-18. 9 sessions.
