Stay Creative with Art Classes.

  • Creative Expression Ages 3-18 yrs

    This class will encourage and guide creation through mixed-media projects, including painting, collage, drawing, and more. Learning how art can help process emotions and tuning into your inner voice to guide you, will be an important focus in this class.

  • The Art of Photography

    This class will teach various photographic techniques including lighting and composition, as well as learn how to develop their artistic eye and what makes a successful photo. Students are not required to bring their own camera but are welcome to if they have one. We will be using a variety of cameras in class.

  • Creative Expression for Adults

    This class will allow people to unleash emotions through creation. Not only through physical space but through conversation, support, vision, and nurturing creativity. Classes will involve music, movement, and meditation as vehicles to create artwork. We will practice art journaling using mixed media tools and techniques (collage, pencil, pen, paint, and more) and paint on canvas with both an abstract and mixed media focus.
