We've added some new techniques to this year's beginning slate of Saturday's Workshops and look forward to a fresh and fun new season of working with students.

Each Saturday session offers students a three-hour period of time in which to study one genre or concept while using several different approaches. Classes are suitable for all experience levels and are held in mixed grade groups. Classes are small in size and enrollment space is limited. Sign up deadline is one week prior to class date.

Class fee of $65.00 includes all materials and a light snack. Saturday sessions are held from 1-4 p.m. (A Saturday morning class can be scheduled if there is group of four students who wish to take at that time. You may call the director to make this request. 731-661-5076.)

Butterfly, Oh Flutterby!
How Beautiful the Butterflies!

Students in all grade levels will explore the concepts of color and form as they paint their way into the world of the butterfly! Grades 2 - 4 will create large and small scale paintings of butterflies in their habitat. Grades 5 – 12 will work on one large scale painting most of the week as well as a “just for fun” individual project which will be student directed. Students will investigate composition possibilities, color mixing and form using exciting and beautiful visuals as inspiration. Each class is designed to accommodate any experience level and all students will be encouraged to create individual and unique interpretations of structure within nature
