SUMMER ART CLASSES IN MY LITTLETON CLASSROOM


I am officially launching my beautiful basement classroom and am offering the following classes:


PLEIN AIR PAINTING IN THE GARDEN

We will meet weekly for 3 weeks in local gardens, where there is an abundance of day lilies, hollyhocks, hostas, lavender and fruit trees.  Kristine will demonstrate in oils or watercolors, with emphasis on color, composition and perspective.  Students may use the medium of their choice.

A portable easel or other support is recommended.  Students should bring items such as sunscreen, hat, bug repellent, etc. to be comfortable outdoors.  In case of rain, we will meet in Kristine's classroom and work on floral still life.

Classes will meet Mondays from 9-11:30, July 13, 20 and 27.  Cost is $75.  To register, email Kristine at linglekristine@gmail.com.


MIXING IT UP:  EXPERIMENTING WITH PAINT AND COLLAGE

In this 4-week class, we will explore a variety of mediums, including paste paper, collage, paint, ink, stamps and stencils to create surface design on paper.  After we have created our stash of materials, we will use our decorated paper to create projects such as cards, paper quilts, origami boxes, book covers and prayer flag style banners.  Most materials will be provided.  Students should bring scissors, a flat 1/2"-3/4" synthetic brush and an apron or smock.

Class meets Mondays 9-11:30 August 3, 10, 17 and 24.  Cost is $80.  To register, email me linglekristine@gmail.com.


ART PARTIES, ETC.

I offer private and group lessons in my spacious Littleton classroom in oils, acrylics, watercolors, collage and color theory.  I have a BFA in Art Education from Umass, Amherst, and have been teaching students of all ages since 1989.

I also offer art parties for "girls' night out", bachelorette, birthday and retirement parties.  I provide all materials and step-by-step instruction for you to make and take a small project.  No experience necessary.  Project choices include painting, collage, origami and more.

Cost is $25 per person for a minimum of 4.  Workshops run 1 1/2 to 2 hours.  Contact linglekristine@gmail.com to schedule.
