CLASSES
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

*****Creative Drawing*****
Explore one element of design each week: color, line, shape / space, 
texture, and value. This project-oriented class will challenge you to think 
about the word “drawing” in creative ways.  Great for the beginner as an 
introduction to the “elements of art” or for the stagnant artist as a quick 
jump start. No drawing skills or previous experience required.
Monday 7 - 9 pm	March 31, April 7, 14, 21, 28 		Cost $95

*****Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain*****
For adults who have always wanted to learn to draw, but felt like they 
lacked talent or confidence. This class teaches “realistic” or 
“naturalistic” drawing.  Students learn that drawing well is really a matter 
of learning a new way of seeing.  (Youth accepted with permission.)
Monday 7 - 9 pm	May 5, 12, 19 (no class Memorial Day), June 2, 9  	Cost $95

*****Art with Intention for Adults*****
Participants may have weekly readings, sketchbook, and  journaling 
assignments that help them uncover and discover an intention in their own 
art work. This class will be an exploration of voice. Individualized 
projects will be based on the students desire to learn new media, explore a 
theme, illustrate an idea, etc. Some previous art instruction or permission 
required. Fee is for 5 classes in 6 weeks. Call for start date.
Thursday 7 - 9 pm or Friday 3-5 pm. Cost $95

One year commitment required. $200 monthly. Call or email for details.

CALL FOR ENTRIES for "DOLLS AND DRESSES"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This art show, that I am curating, will take place at the Independent Media 
Center (IMC) during June 2003. I am looking for artists who are making 
original unique dolls and / or art that is about dressing or dresses. 
Nothing from patterns. Perferably that which is a fine art expression of 
protest, emotion, memory, etc.  Please call or email to discuss the 
possibility of including your art or to recommend an artist for inclusion.
