Hi everyone,
Our art classes are off and running again for term 1 from the 7th Feb (next week).
Most class times are full and rearing to go. We do still have a few spots left in our Tuesday and Wednesday 3.30 - 5.00 pm classes available.
This term we are looking at still-life, and composition, and learning to look really hard at seeing, not the objects but the large tonal areas, and how light falls upon them. Experimenting with a few different mediums as we go. We will build up to a still-life painting study.
So hope you can join us. We are based in Cockle Bay.
For tweens, teens, and adults.
Check out our website for details - www.vizart.co.nz...
Below is Hannah LW painting a surreal portrait last term.
