4 MODERNIST SCULPTORS
virtual adult lecture with JIM ZINGARELLI
3-wks, Friday, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM, 8/6 − 8/20, $65
In this art history class, we will examine the work of 4 modernist sculptors over the course of 3 online zoom classes. We'll begin with Constantin Brancusi (early 20th century), move on to Barbara Hepworth (mid-century), Marisol (late midcentury), and finally Martin Puryear (late 20th-early 21st century). In each case, we'll explore the evolving nature of modernist sculpture (referencing other sculptors as well), each working within both traditional and new methods & materials, and the context in which their work unfolded. The class will conclude with a brief look at Jim Zingarelli's sculptural work, which has been influenced by a modernist aesthetic and, more particularly, by all of these sculptors. |

FIBER FABRIC COLLAGE ...an Eye-Opening Color Workshop
in-person adult class with KAREN NASTUK
1-day, Monday, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM, 7/12, $45
Want the depth of Rembrandt and the sparkle of Sargent? With three hours of practice reproducing a scene using fabric, you'll train your brain and eyes to see color more accurately, which will make you a better painter! How dark can a white chair be? Does a white buoy have a white reflection? Please bring five color photographs or magazine scenes. You will recreate one in fabric. These images should have objects close and far away to help you understand the depth of field. |

ANATOMY OF A PORTRAIT
virtual adult class with SAM AMAN
6-wks, Monday, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM, 7/12 − 8/16, $170
Portraiture is one of the most sought-after skills when people think of 2D art and design. However, as many of us know, capturing the human face in all of its complexity can feel daunting and often discourages most folks from pursuing the subject matter at all. Not to worry! Rendering the face is possible with just a few tricks and techniques. If you have always wanted to learn how to draw the human face with real systems and step by step processes that don't feel esoteric, join me! Students will provide their own materials. |

Se le animará a crear su propia obra de arte. En esta clase de paso a paso, se lo alentará a pensar visualmente y a ver imágenes y fotografías de revistas de diferentes maneras mediante la observación de líneas, colores y formas. Desafiará la realidad utilizando un método llamado "destrozo" y técnicas llamadas “Yuxtaposicionamiento” y “collage híbrido” que es la idea de juntar imágenes inesperadas y jugar con la escala.
