The class begins with hands-on practice working on newsprint to get the flow of arm movement and keep loose. Then, the focus shifts to creating shapes and color play on pastel paper. Students will be challenged to express their inner creativity on a 2-D surface. This all-skill-level session concludes with students completing a 10-by-12 project to take home. All supplies are provided by the instructor.

Tuition is $65, or $58 for members, plus a $10 materials fee. Class size is limited and preregistration is required. For more information, visit volcanoartcenter.org or contact Julie at 967-8222 or julie@volcanoartcenter.org.
