Unlocking Creativity: Art Class for Grownups
Unlocking Creativity: Art Class for Grownups
For ages 18+
Adults, are you looking for an opportunity to do something more creative in your life, but don’t know how or where to start? Do you have creative ideas swirling around in your head and need that last push to see them brought to life? Or are you an artist who has been putting off the creative call?
Join us this spring for a 5-week workshop that will help you reconnect with your inner artist, in a positive and supportive environment. Each week, artist Brian Herrick will guide you through different artistic mediums, from drawing to collage, watercolor and printmaking, all while helping you set up routines and access your creative mind so you can take these lessons home with you and reconnect with your inner artist.
Students will learn how to use the sketchbook as a place to implement a series of tools to mine their ideas, covering the basics of: ideating, utilizing chance, exploring drawing games, wordplay, and musical inspiration all for the sake of finding creative discovery. Open to beginners and seasoned artists, we will explore the creative landscape together in order to unlock our own creativity.
This class runs for 5 sessions. Choose to register for all 5 classes, or drop-in on one class. Pre-register online, or we will also accept Venmo or cash payment at the studio.
Wednesdays 6:30pm-8pm | March 27, 2024 to May 1, 2024 (no class on April 24th)
