Welcome to START, a series designed for artists ages 10 and up! 

Whether you’re a total beginner or looking for an artistic refresher, this class is for you. 

Each month, we will explore a new topic to help you build a strong foundation and expand your knowledge and skills in the arts. 

This month, we’ll learn about working with shape as a key element of art.

Working with your instructor, you’ll explore well-known artworks that use shape effectively, with special attention to the expressive heart imagery of artist Jim Dine.

You’ll then create your own heart-inspired artwork using shape to develop a personal and creative composition in the style of this artist.

Registration is required.

Members: $16 | General Public: $20
