The format for each class will be to open with lecture, then exercises, an assignment, a lunch break and finally studio time to work on the 6" x 12" album that you'll be bringing home at the end of the week. We know you'll be delirious with design!

Allow your mind to travel back in art history and learn to paint like Matisse, Cezanne or Van Gogh! Each class will start with a lecture, then we'll move into some exercises and give you an assignment and a lunch break. You'll then have studio time to work on your 6" x 6" canvas accordion-style album. By week's end, you will have a unique memory album full of your own art and photos.
