This class is specifically designed for artists in 3rd through 8th grade.

Learn how to draw realistic dinosaurs!

All of my life I have told people, “If you want to learn about something... draw it.”  This is absolutely true of animals! Through drawing, you will learn far more than just how they appear. OBSERVE how they stand, how they sleep, what makes them happy or angry. Use Art to research where the animal lives, and what it eats.

We will begin with the drawing fundamentals shape, proportion, light, shadow, and texture. Soon enough, however, students will get their own sketchbooks and set of graphite pencils to keep studies of their favorite animals! NOW, learn to use those same principles to draw with the incredible Prismacolor colored pencils!

Passion is what makes us great artists, so if you love animals and have an interest in biology, please grab this great opportunity!

This 4 session class runs Thursdays, 4:00pm -5:30pm; 10/30/25, 11/6/25, 11/13/25, & 11/20/25.

This class is specifically designed for artists in Kindergarten through 5th grade.

Re-create Vincent Van Gogh's iconic Starry Night using oil pastels.  

Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade, he created approximately 2,100 works of art.It is therefore surprising that only few of his paintings are immediately recognized, and that details about his life are vague to many.This class is designed to teach young artists his thoughts about creating art as well as Vincent’s love of giving people happiness with his art. We will show students how the composition of Starry Night was influenced by Japanese Art and is almost completely based on Hokusai’s Great Wave print. We will also show them how to use oil pastels and the color theory that Vincent used to make his stars shine brighter.

This 4 session class will run on Mondays, 4:00-5:30 pm; 11/3/25, 11/10/25, 11/17/25 and 11/24/25.

This class is specifically designed for adult artists.

The word Abstract in Art is a tricky one. The word is used in conversations all the time, but is it really understood? And where does abstract art come from? By definition, abstract can mean something changed from the traditional image that we are used to, such as Picasso moving the parts of the face interchangeably. However, the definition that artists adore most is, “Something that is only a thought or idea, but has no physical existence.” That is, until artists bring it to life before our eyes!This class walks students through several Art-making processes that generate abstract images. We then encourage students to continue the work independently in their own direction.Classes will be structured as a lesson to teach the process, and then as a guided studio time. This is the perfect opportunity for a thoughtful growing artist to challenge their creative thinking. Students should be open minded, and able to work independently.
