DRAWING AND PAINTING

Drawing and painting are the foundation courses to studying and exploring art. Through pencil, ink, paints and even collage students explore creating lines, working 3 dimensionally, and exploring different ways “to see” objects and the world around us. Time in a drawing and painting class is also a great creative outlet from a busy world and builds on other mediums in art.

 

Tuesday *Beginning Watercolor 6:00 – 8:00pm with Dave Wilson

 

 

JEWELRY

For centuries, people have created jewelry for adornment on the body, for sacred rituals and to identify someones social status and wealth. In this jewelry course, students explore both the cold techniques (riveting, sawing, texturing) and hot techniques (joining metals with a torch) to create their own unique jewelry for their every day use and for special occasions. Jewelry may be an “everyday” item or something sculptural and expressive.

Wednesday *Jewelry Design Studio 6:00 – 8:00pm with Nancie Roark

 

 

PHOTOGRAPHY

Discovered in the 1830’s, photography is French for “painting/drawing with light. Light sensitive materials and specialized equipment are used to create prints of the world around us, the people in society, and to document special events. Photography revolutionized the art world at the time and is still a popular medium today. that cell phone camera is actually a sophisticated piece of photography equipment and is still about capturing the light to create images. Sarratt Art Studios offers darkroom classes that allow students to explore the world and techniques of black and white photography while using a very simple but also creative “toy camera” called the Holga.
