This class is guaranteed to train you to "see" in a whole new way through creative exercises & the use of many art materials: pastels, paints, pencils, craypas, and charcoal. Each lesson involves learning basic art principles such as: perspective, lines, shading and composition as well as combining art history into each project.

Beginning and more advanced students will gain a better understanding of subject matter and image content.
Each student will also get one-on-one instruction on the controls and functions found on their own personal cameras.
Students are encouraged to bring in examples of their work for a personal critique by the instructor.
Small assignments will be given to gauge understanding of the lessons.
The instructor will make his E-mail available during the class as well as afterwards so that students will be able to continue to learn and grow.
