Oil pastel is a relatively new medium dated from the early 20 century. It is a very versatile and dynamic material that combines drawings and painting properties. An easy to control, very flexible to mix with medium, makes oil pastels ideal for working on any surface. Over the course of 7 weeks, students will discover exciting techniques and they will learn to combine oil pastels with other mediums such as acrylic and watercolor. This class also covers a variety of exercises to guide students to create effective compositions following the elements and principles of art. Some assignments are inspired by impressionist and post-impressionist artists' approaches to painting.

This class is a great fit for anyone looking to transition between drawing to painting or experienced artists looking to learn about the endless applications of oil pastels. All levels are welcome.

Fabric and textiles are tied to all of us: from family heirlooms that hold nostalgic meaning to scraps of hot pink fur from Joann’s art supply. In this class, students will create mixed media, collage paintings using their own background and photos as a point of inspiration. Students will learn about contemporary collage artists and painters such as Deborah Roberts and Hugo McCloud, and work to improve color theory, build dynamic compositions, and use good craftsmanship with mixed media techniques. This will be a fun and creative way to explore a range of materials, take risks in the studio, and preserve our memories from this time.

In this 2-day workshop, participants will become familiar with key terms, concepts, texts and examples regarding socially engaged art, also known as social practice. Group and individual exercises will provide space for discussion and experiential learning around a few topics of focus: personal and community context, non-hierarchical relationships, and social change through art. Through our time together, participants are invited to consider how principles of socially engaged art could be applied to their own creative practices.
