Folk Art Painting
Tuesdays 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
July 1 - 29th
Folk art often simplifies the subject by using geometric shapes, bold colors, and no constraints on proportions. In this folk art class, students will focus on recognizing basic geometric shapes of animals, people, and foliage and incorporate those crude shapes into creating folk art style subjects. Students will experiment with using coordinating and contrasting colors to bring drama into their art. Students will also explore
techniques of painting boldly and loosely. $50 for the series (no class 7/15)
