Painting-Design and Technique with Charles Y. Walls
February 23 - April 6, 2010; no class March 16 (Tuesdays, 1-4pm or 6-8:30pm) — Open to all levels, this on-going, challenging course will expose you to principles of design and visual language. Primarily an oil painting class, the goal is to equip you with the skills necessary to fulfill your own artistic vision. This class is taught with the individual artist in mind, teaching principles of the visual language without smothering artistic vision. In a progressive and comprehensive manner, you will be trained to look, to see, to think in a sensitive way to equip you to make your art completely their own. True artistic freedom comes when you have developed the skills to convey, on a two-dimensional surface, what your vision and taste has led you to paint. Visit website

Copperplate Calligraphy with Anne Elser
February 24 - March 31, 2010 (Wednesdays, 6-8:30pm) — Are you fascinated with how beautiful calligraphy looks and want to try it yourself? This is an introductory look at Copperplate, an elegant and elastic hand frequently used for formal invitations, documents and bridal events. After we learn each upper and lower case character, we'll spend the last two classes learning layout techniques for envelope addressing, a bit of flourishing and color experimentation. Calligraphy is less about pretty handwriting, but more about drawing each and every letter. It's about establishing a pace and rhythmic motion as you write - giving you a consistency of shapes, letters, and spaces in between words and lines. It is highly relaxing and meditative. Like yoga for your hands! Visit website

Calligraphy is less about pretty handwriting, but more about drawing each and every letter. It’s about establishing a pacing and rhythmic motion as you write - giving you a consistency of shapes and letters, and spaces in between words and lines.
