Creating a Dynamic Still Life I w/Alexander Shanks

This six week course is perfect for students who wish to better understand the development of a painting. Working from still life offers artists an opportunity to spend more time learning the process of finishing a work of art. Throughout this class students will learn to utilize value, composition and color in order to achieve the most dynamic effects possible. This class will include group critiques, as well as lessons in perspective, proportions and color theory. The instructor will provide an in-depth explanation of artists materials throughout the process of a painting from start to finish. This class will give students insight into the creation of a still life from simple objects to complex interiors.

This is a six week class from 1/13/21 - 2/17/21.

Guidelines for Video Communication

By clicking the 'Add to Cart' button, you are agreeing to our Video Conferencing Guidelines.

1. Remember that any audio/video communication may involve two-way camera and audio usage. This means that the instructor will need to see students’ work and speak with them about it, and may also be able to see and hear what is occurring in the student’s home.

2. Do not make audio or video recordings of lessons. Without the permission of the instructor, Wayne Art Center and other lesson participants, this may be illegal.

3. Do not provide access to the lesson to anyone other than the registered participant.

4. Maintain the confidentiality of other students if you or your child are participating in a group lesson. All individuals participating may be able to see and hear what is occurring in your home, including what everyone is wearing, just as you may see and hear what is occurring in their home.

5. If that makes you uncomfortable, you are encouraged to set the video conference up so that only the student is visible, sitting in front of a wall.

6. Wayne Art Center reserves the right to make audio and video recordings of all lessons. Any such recordings will be the sole property of Wayne Art Center, and may be retained, used, or disposed of in its discretion, subject to applicable laws.
