weekly on Tuesday

10:30am – 12:30pm

Move beyond the color wheel in this joyful, five-week exploration designed to get you excited and inspired by color. Using a full range of art materials—including colored pencils, watercolor, pastels, acrylic paint, collage, and even fabric—we’ll learn how color creates energy, movement, rhythm, contrast, and emotion.

Each week offers a different creative entry point:
colorful shapes and abstraction
groovy 1960s and ’70s color
rhythmic patterns and repeated forms
unexpected expressive color

You’ll explore complementary colors, neighboring colors, and surprising combinations—and learn what makes a palette harmonize, vibrate, or pop.

Inspired by artists and art traditions from around the world, we’ll experiment with shape, pattern, layering, masking, collage, and mixed media.

Every class results in something visually satisfying—even if you have very little drawing or art experience.
