This is a 3 weeks class held on Tuesday eveings.

An introduction to Expressionism, focusing on automatic drawing, purposeful distortion, emotion-driven color, and dynamic paint application. This energetic and intuitive style encourages you to tap into your inner voice and break through traditional barriers of communication within the elements of art. Expressionism is an introspective practice—less about realism and convention, and more about conveying a powerful personal message. It’s an excellent opportunity to experiment, expand your style, and enrich your portfolio.

Because Expressionist work is often fast and spontaneous, paper, canvas, or alternative 2D surfaces all work beautifully. Mixed media is highly encouraged. Artists of all experience levels are welcome to explore.

Students only need to bring their own materials and are encourage to talk, ask questions, and participate in group discussions. Sharing ideas is a fantastic way to problem-solve and shorten the learning curve!

Miss Ruthie will teach students how to create a set of ceramic tic-tac-toe pieces. A nice addition to travel with during the Memorial Day weekend! This is an opportunity to make a classic game into a custom piece of art made for just you. Start thinking of all your favorite dynamic duos; peas and carrots, bacon and eggs, toast and butter, stars and moons…the sky is the limit! Make them as simple or as detailed as you’d like. Students will learn simple hand-sculpting, stamping, and carving techniques, how to use a variety of clay tools, and gain an understanding of clay and its properties. Each student will make one mini tic-tac-toe set, and glaze it that night to be ready for a once-firing process.Then we will paint/decorate our drawstring bag into the game board. Students are encouraged to bring snacks and drinks to the class and relax while making art.
