Course Description:

Art 101 is for beginners and artists getting back to their art after a time away. Join artist John Passaro as we explore the basics of creation in an ongoing exciting month-to-month journey. Everyone is welcome. You’ll find us a warm and supportive group enjoying our weekly get-togethers.

Whether you’re looking for a particular medium to express yourself, or if you already work in acrylics, oils, watercolor, drawing, or fabric, the ideas remain the same: color, dark and light, composition, line, and more.

The time we spend together is centered around individual feeback on everyone’s work and goals, visual studies of subjects, and the instructor paints or draws demonstrations each week.

If you don’t have any materials, it’s okay!, the instructor will give you some basics to experiment with.
