CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Instruction Classes - 12 weeks per session and 3 hours per class

Instruction group classes can accommodate students of various painting levels.

The instructor provides information on painting principles and techniques for a portion of the time and for the remaining time will circulate to provide individual guidance to each student working on their own paintings.  The instructor may also give class demonstrations or projects to help illustrate certain painting concepts.  Students provide their own supplies.

All participants must be a current member of the FLC Seniors Club.

Studio Classes - 12 weeks per session and 3 hours per class

Studio classes do not have an instructor and provide artists a group opportunity to paint, socialize and share knowledge and ideas with other artists while working independently on their own painting projects with their own supplies.  All three types of media may be used - acrylic, oil and watercolour.
