Studio Art

From beginning painting to life drawing, from pastels to watercolors, from real life to portraits, the Jewish Community Center's Studio Art Classes under supervision of our qualified instructor, are designed to nurture talents, widen horizons, and enrich the lives of our students.

Beginning Sculpture

Learn the ancient art of sculpting. This class will introduce you to three dimensional form and space and teach you how to move your ideas from your head to a finished work of art! You will learn plaster casting, additive sculpting and hand carving and will become familiar with the basic tools used for sculpting. Every student will create a bas relief, free standing sculpture or both, and will leave the class with at least one completed project. No experience necessary, just a desire to create.
Maximum class size is 15.
Feb. 9-Apr. 6 Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Fee: $225 Member Fee: $180 Age: 14+
Sculpture supply cost is included in course fee. Students purchase their own bases for free standing sculptures.
