Fall Adult Classes

Mixed Media

Autobiographic Art—with Vera Dickerson
8 classes: Tuesday, September 3–October 29 • 1:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m. | No class October 15 • Same class: Thursday, September 5–October 31 • 1:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m. | No class October 17 • $270
The art we make rings true when it expresses our personal desires, memories and history. In these eight weeks, we will make use of family history (my grandparents in the example here), our own experiences and a visual projection of ideas that express us as individuals. So this may involve photo references, but also gives permission to imagine and create. You may find something quite serious, but also consider the humor that’s possible. Demos and critiques. Use the form at left to contact Vera with questions.register_button
