This is a comprehensive course good for the beginner and also the advanced artist.
This 10-week course in Acrylic meets on Thursdays, 3:30 – 5:30 p.m.
Sept 10 through Nov 12 (10 weeks)
Join in the journey into acrylic painting! Acrylic painting has been invented and used, beginning in the 1940’s in the form of house paint, and became popular in the 1960’s with artists! Acrylic painting is known for its different qualities, such as its different approaches to expressions that can mimic oil, and watercolor. It is much more than that, in that it is great for uses in mixed media, collage, Gelli plate printmaking, and textural pieces. It is known for its quick drying properties, which can be an advantage. We will be covering tools, techniques, and supplies throughout, with a demonstration to get to know all the things this terrific media can do! Students are asked to bring ideas for a painting they would like to paint. This is a comprehensive course good for the beginner, but also the advanced artist.
While students are strongly encouraged to bring their own materials. Michelle gives recommendations for products in the marketplace to fit different budgets.
Similarly, there are options to use Chelsea Art Center Supplies for a class fee of $5, per class time, if needed (Speak with CAC Dr. Barbara Fife for permission).
