Fine Art Acrylics (Ages 18+)

In this critique based class student’s artwork and ideas will be shared freely.  Each class begins and ends with a group critique session.  In between group sessions students work at individual stations at their own pace.  Each student will receive one-on-one guidance from the instructor.  Inspiration comes through sharing ideas, the stimulating critiques and challenging assignments. Lecture/demos cover areas such as composition, form, color and contrast.
