Untitled, Still Life with Bananas and Apples, Circa 1928
Artists have been creating still life art works since ancient times, a still life is a composition of things arranged by the artist for a variety of reasons from creating a pleasing combination of shapes, colors, and textures to more complex use of symbolism to narrate themes such as life and growth, or time and mortality. Bring in your own small items of significance or choose from a variety of items such as shells, flowers, and produce provided in class to curate your own still life. You will be guided through the art of still life painting from setting up a symbolic still life, arranging an interesting composition, to application and processes of acrylic painting. No previous art experience required!
Have you ever wanted to create something out of clay, but didn’t know how to or had to rely on molds and props only? This project oriented class will give you necessary concepts of hand-building to make any idea of a form into a reality. In just five days we will cover basic methods, shapes, and how to combine and alter them to make your unique designs. We will cover design, composition, and some mechanical aspects to make a beautiful statement piece. At the end of this class you will have an original totem to decorate your home or garden with. This class is great for beginner clay enthusiasts as well as artists, who want a boost of creativity and liberty in their creations.
