Adult Art Class

Learning Art is a Positive Experience.

My classes are constructed in such a way as to encourage creativity and ideas in a stress free comfortable environment. Unfortunately, if a person has not created art by the time they reach adulthood most have been programmed to believe that they have little or no artistic talent and ability, this is completely untrue as I believe and have proven that everybody has the ability to be creative to a high level of competency. It has all got to do with technique, everybody can draw, if I asked you to draw a circle, square, triangle and oval, you would think that I am mad, but these are the building bricks of all drawing techniques, you just have to be shown how to put them all together, as simple as that, no mystery, no magic. All my beginners classes I demonstrate each step or technique a project might involve before students attempt to create their own interpretation as the majority of the adult population do not think conceptually and must have visual aids to comprehend. Understanding this and providing the visual aids to students will make the student less self-conscious about their artistic abilities and will increase their motivation to learn. After this preliminary learning class all students are more than capable of progressing onto the next level, allowing them to discover more about themselves as they create art.

Creating art will develop focus and concentration, encourage the indiviudal to make decisions and solve problems and develop better hand-eye coordination. Creativity helps in everything that someone does. Whether it’s art, music or drama all are about expanding a person’s prespective and taking an idea to a different level.
