Art with Elders: Painting and Drawing (Virtual)
Mon February 5, 2024 @ 2:15 pm - 3:45 pm
Join us as Santiago shares with the class his knowledge and experience with art. A true piece of art is concerned not only with technique but also and more importantly with self-expression. In this class, we will emphasize individual creativity. The participants will explore their personal world in order to create a body of work that is unique. During class, we will also cover all technical aspects of drawing and painting that may arise. These may include:
– Basic concepts of perspective, shadowing, light to dark tones, composition
– Basic pencil techniques
– Drawing still life
– Watercolor: materials and techniques
– Acrylic: materials and techniques
Bring samples of artwork you have done before to share with the class and get feedback.
Materials List: Colored pencils, Pencil sharpener, Cotton balls, Paper
Optional Materials: Watercolor paint, Acrylic paint, Brushes, Rag (a piece of cloth), Watercolor paper, Canvas
