Dramatic Still Life Painting

Saturday and Sunday, June 16 & 17 | 10am - 4 pm | $120

INSTRUCTOR: KELLI FOLSOM

With still life as the subject matter, this course will focus on painting in the chiaroscuro tradition by way of “alla prima,” or working wet into wet. The focus will be to achieve the maximum amount of depth and brilliancy of light, maintain rich color and achieve a sense of air in the paintings. Students will learn to utilize brush handling and paint quality to their advantage as they lay down the paint. A look at the masters of chiaroscuro painting, both past and present, will allow for discussions on compositional design, value control and color strategy. All levels welcome.

Join our guest artists on Saturdays, 1-4 pm, as they help families to create extraordinary works of art inspired by the Museum’s collection, exhibitions, and special occasions throughout the year. No advance registration is required for you and your children to drop in and make and take a unique creation home with you! Free with paid Museum admission.

Wednesdays | 7 – 9 pm | $105

INSTRUCTOR: NICK BAYER

This course builds on the student’s previous knowledge of acrylic painting and will continue to explore materials and technical aspects of painting. Students will work from direct observation, exploring use of media through representational and abstract paintings. The process of painting, as well as composition (balance, unity, emphasis and manipulation of space) will be explored through the relative use of color, value, line, texture, opacity and shape. Objective and subjective color will be explored and discussed as will the formal and expressive potential of “surface.” Students will learn color mixing and experiment with various brushwork and knife techniques. Formal relationships will be stressed as a means of developing strong and expressive compositions, as well as representational form and space.
