Acrylic & Oil Painting 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Learn about all you need to know about the materials, techniques, and mixing of oils. The class will also contain lessons and understandings of basic color theory. This is my favorite form of Painting because it is so flexible. Due to the slow drying time oils can give so many options for various techniques. There are more rules and materials when working with oils but the results are so rewarding. You will learn to love and appreciate oils, just give them a chance! Learn techniques of painting with acrylic. They dry quickly and they have easy clean up. We will learn how to mix paints and work with the materials. The class will also contain lessons and understandings of basic color theory. Non-Member Cost: $65 Member Cost: $60. The event will take place at Art Reach Center. Call Art Reach Center at (989) 773-3689 for more information.

Drawing Upside Down: Having the Eyes of an Artist 5:45pm - 7:15pm
Think you can't draw? The problem isn't with your hands. It's all about learning how to see! My approach to teaching art techniques with children is all about how I see and take in the world. I like to laugh, make fun and play with art. The less seriously it is approached, themore genuinely surprising it can be not only to the artist, but the viewer. My five classes are based on skills: color mixing, contour drawing, shading, story telling, and portraits. But, for example, instead of just teaching the students how to make "orange," I think it is much more interesting to also try their hand at matching their own skin tone. This event will be held at the Art Reach Center. Please call (989) 773-3689 for more information.
