As artists, we all dream of special projects. "Creating a Series"
reminds us that we need more than one work of art to explore an idea
or technique. In this discussion-based and critique-oriented class,
students will identify their artistic longings, formulate realistic
goals for a series of paintings or drawings which express these
longings and push their creativity to a new level.These goals will be
accomplished in a supportive group environment. All members of this
class will complete at least five pieces outside of class. Students
who need studio time are welcome to create during class. All levels
and all media are welcome. Prerequisite: Some drawing and painting
                                          skills. Limit: 12          To register go to Sharon Arts Center.
