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 equitably to 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 any artist who wants some experience in drawing and/or painting. All our classes can accommodate beginners. Beginner to advanced 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 all artists 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.
