Art Appreciation: Modern
Art (ages 16+)

The development of Modern Painting. The story of Modern Art is a visual
record of significant changes and upheavals in Western Civilization –

painting as a whole, underwent an “extreme makeover” over the course of
a century. From Neoclassicism, through the Impressionists, to Jackson
Pollock, you will be very ‘in the know’ at your next museum or gallery

formed and the fabric of our lives and our own weavings are
enriched. The work you take away from this class will be a
‘marker’ of this time in your life.

loom and weave off a simple fabric of their choice. Students who
have woven before will choose their projects. Weaves to consider
are double weave, huck and overshot. Students can expect to
complete a beginner piece in a 4-week session. A single session
of weaving is a great opportunity for a beginner to ‘test the
waters’ and see if weaving is all that they thought it would be.
It is also perfect for folks who have woven in the past but need
a refresher on how to dress the loom. Intermediate students will
want to book several sessions for larger projects. Students
wishing to work on long-term projects must book consecutive
sessions. Materials: Cost of
materials will vary depending on the project chosen. All
materials are available for purchase at the studio, or students
may contact instructor for recommendations if you wish to bring
your own.Location: This
