This hybrid class can be taken virtually or in-person. If you wish to attend in-person, please register for the in-person session. If you wish to attend virtually via Zoom, please register for the online session. These sessions will take place simultaneously, the two sessions are just for us to track how many students will be coming in-person versus virtually.
Join illustrator Lena Shiffman for a fun and relaxing art class this summer. Choose your favorite medium or learn a new one such as charcoal, pencil, pastel, oils, acrylic, or watercolor. Composition, value, color, and proper use of mediums will be covered. Work from still life or photos provided by the instructor or your own photos. Individual attention will be given to each student by Lena.
Please note: This hybrid class provides students the freedom to attend their session either in-person or via Zoom.
