SUMMER CoURSES for ADUlTS ClAY & SCUlPTURE


Pottery by Larry Downing


SUMMER CoURSES for ADUlTS PAinTing & DRAWingintroduction to DrawingThe first step in learning how to draw is learning to see. Discover how you can sharpen your powers of observation and improve your drawing skills. Individual coaching from artist Cong Yuan gives you confidence as he guides you through the use of basic design principles. As you progress, class discussions about composition and perspective will help you to develop your own projects. Learn to skillfully use of drawing materials such as pencils, charcoal and conte cray-ons. Mr. Yuan also includes a special ses-sion on Chinese brush painting. Check the DAC website or call for materials list.

06sU101.1Mondays, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PMJune 19 - August 7 (8 weeks)Cong Yuan, Instructor$124 or two credit card payments of $62

Figure DrawingDraw figures with character! Artist Cong Yuan places each model in an evocative context using furniture, drapery, props and lighting. He’ll explain how the structure of bones and muscles gives individuality and expression to each subject. As you gain confidence with your figure drawing skills, you’ll learn how composition can add depth and interest to your drawings. Basic drawing skills are a prerequisite for this course. Check website or call for materials list.

06sU102.1Wednesdays, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PMJune 21 - August 9 (8 weeks)Cong Yuan, Instructor$124 or two credit card payments of $62

Simple Portrait Painting and head Studies in oilWorking on small canvases with limited colors, we will work out the light and dark relationships of the head before adding more vibrant colors to the light and shadows. Beginning simply will allow us to de-mystify the complicated form of the head before moving into the more complicated areas. Along the way we will discuss composition, touch on simple drawing tips to capture a likeness and explore some basic color theory. Materials will be kept to a minimum. All are welcome. Some painting experience required.

06sU122.1Saturdays, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PMJune 24 - August 19 (8 weeks)No Class July 8Tracy Hancock, Instructor$124 or two credit card payments of $62

nEW! Quick oil Painting TechniquesBecause of their long drying time, painting in oils can sometimes seem laborious and make an artist lose the spark of inspiration. The solution is two-fold: doing as much pre-planning as pos-sible and learning to let your painting evolve in front of you. Both are the product of experience, but in this class, we will learn to do both to maximize our time at the easel. Pre-planning color schemes and compositions, quick methods for transferring sketches to the canvas, simplifying the range of tone and colors – all allow us to work more quickly and effectively. In addition to working quickly, we will also learn to see where our painting is going and listen to what it needs to get there, and other tech-niques for staying on track and produce quality, finished work. Some painting experience required.

06sU126.1Saturdays, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PMJune 24 - August 19 (8 weeks)No Class July 8Tracy Hancock, Instructor$185 or two credit card payments of $92.50

Painting by Tracy Hancock, Instructor

intermediate PaintingWe have designed this course to accommodate as many student interests as possible. Whether you have painted in watercolor or oils or acrylic, you are welcome. Maybe pastels and oil pastels are your medium. This class is an open format with an instructor to push and inspire you to challenge your existing skills. Treated like an “independent study,” students work on their own projects in their preferred media. The instructor works individually during the three hour session helping and directing students. The students can choose to be more self-directed with occasional advice from the teacher or create a more structured approach. In many cases, design, composition, and color theory are emphasized and used as tools to broaden the students’ aesthetic and creative tools.

Age-appropriate cognitive skills, such as counting, sequential organization, spatial awareness and comparative abstract concepts are woven into the class structure. A typical class will incorporate ballet form, creative play and motor skill enhancement all in a format that is innovative and fun.

Adobe illustratorUnleash your creativity with Adobe Illustrator! Illustrator is the leading software for creating vector graphics within the design industry today. Learn the techniques of professionals, whether you are a beginner or an artist who wants to create more. Students are guided through the basic tools to develop strong graphics for logos, business cards, and posters that can be used in real-life projects. Topics include interface tools, manipulating shapes and paths, paintings, drawing with the pen tool; and creating layers, type/color special effects, and the gradient mesh. Prerequisites: Basic computer knowledge and drawing skills. All students in this course will receive digital studio access during open studio hours.


Exploring TypographyTypography is one of the foundation stones of graphic design. It can set a mood that ranges from light and playful to formal, con-tent driven volumes of text and image. In this class we will consider legible vs. artistic fonts, kerning, spatial issues, ragged vs. justified, serif vs. sans serif and type as image. You will also learn how to use grids to support your content (type) and to create pages that have an underlying functional structure. The joy of typography is that it can range from pure art to very structured and template driven designs. Assignments can be done by hand (old fash-ion cut and paste) or on computer using Illustrator, Quark or InDesign. Please note that this is not a “how-to” class for any computer based tools.
