  • Drawing & Painting, ages 4-6, Monday or Wednesday, 3:30-5:30pm

This class is designed to introduce students to the basic techniques of drawing and painting humans, objects, and animals with a slight animated twist. We’ll focus on value, color, shape, and the other elements of art. Students will learn to give realistic expression to their drawings of original characters and creatures. With their creations, students will draft and compose unique stories that highlight their imagination.

  • Beginning Ceramics, Adults, Tuesday, 6:30-9:30pm

Curious in learning how to throw on the wheel? Interested in creating interesting and functional sculpture with clay? This is the perfect class for beginners or those looking to continue working on their skills in the ceramic studio.

One 25 lb of clay is provided with additional clay available for purchase.

Upcoming fall term

Really Sayin' Somethin'I’ve received a few emails from parents asking my plans for the fall term in regards to the New Art Center. Unfortunately, I am no longer with the NAC (read more here). I realize  the center is still hosting classes I formerly taught, some I created myself. I wish the upcoming instructors nothing, but the best! That’s not to say I’m done with teaching. I’ll be announcing a list of classes at the Brookline Arts Center in the near future. Thank you for all your continued support and I hope to see you in the fall. Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of summer!

Fall Semester 2011

I can’t believe coworkers and I wrapped up the Fall semester at the Worcester Art Museum last week. Time unbelievably flies when you’re having fun! I decided to post some images of in process work and completed pieces. The feedback from students and parents on my Drawing and Painting classes this term were terrific and I’m glad kids not only had fun, but learned a thing or two. Happy holidays, everyone!
