CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Instruction Classes

Instruction classes are for painters who want expert guidance for their own projects, but these classes are not necessarily step by step formal teaching.   The instructor circulates to equitably assist each person.  If the instructor feels it is beneficial to the class, they will give talks, projects or demonstrations on various art principles and techniques. Instruction classes are suited for the novice artist who has some experience in drawing and/or painting; however, we do have some classes that can accommodate beginners. Novice or Intermediate artists who would like to learn and grow in their painting skills will enjoy these classes.  All participants must be a current member of the FLC Seniors Club.

Studio Classes

Studio classes are for experienced painters who can work independently on their own projects without an instructor.  All three types of media may be used - acrylic, oil, and watercolor.  Artists who like to get together to paint and share ideas in a social setting will enjoy these classes.  All participants must be a current member of FLC Seniors Club.
