Take a break from everything and come make art in a welcoming and supportive environment with artist and educator Melanie Gillis. Studio Art 101 is designed for students of any level interested in creating art in a studio setting at their own pace. No experience is required – come and learn how to use a variety of mediums in a relaxed and stress-free class. If it’s been awhile since you last worked in studio, you are welcome to come and work in your preferred medium as well as try out some new techniques. This is an opportunity to explore charcoal, watercolor, acrylics, and mixed media. Individual instruction/feedback will be given as you develop your personal approach. If you discover a preferred medium, you are welcome to focus on it for the remaining classes. Projects will be based on abstract prompts, reference images, and still life setups. Based on interest & availability we will have a class working from a live model.

Bring a snack, sense of humor, and art-friendly clothing. Try just one class or take all six!
Social distancing is observed and masks are required.
