Transformation Studio
This course blends painting and drawing in a synergistic environment for newcomers and seasoned artists, focusing on artistic expression and self-discovery. Participants will intertwine drawing and/or painting elements through structured guidance and artistic challenges, utilizing various mediums to shape their distinctive artistic narrative.
As a part of the Ah Haa After Hours Series, this class is programmed with the 9 to 5 worker in mind who cannot make daytime classes (although of course anyone is welcome!). The entire After Hours Series also hopes to make Ah Haa more accessible for those looking to try a new medium with only a one-time commitment, while still providing the option to build upon that skill as classes are offered on a consistent monthly basis.
All materials are provided. Please bring a photo or image for inspiration as well as a journal or sketchbook.
