I believe drawing is something everyone can learn just like everyone can learn to play an instrument. Learning to draw is the foundation of everything we will be doing. However, drawing can take many different forms. I tell students that painting is just drawing with a brush. In my experience students often get bored or overwhelmed with a drawing lesson and no creative direction in how to apply what they have learned. This class is called “Creative Artists” because I try to allow students “creative” ways to display their learning process. The cost includes all supplies throughout the year except a Spiral sketchbook (please bring the first day of class). There is a $10 discount for siblings attending together. Contact April Parker for further info: 770-599-0900 Creative Artist’s Agenda: March: A Canvas of Impressionism: Students will learn about this wonderful period and how to create that style through thick paint, messy brush strokes and the impression of light. We will be painting the Eiffel Tower on an 11x14 canvas. Please email the instructor to see a page of student examples: [email protected] April: In this project students will be using plexi glass to create their own stained “glassish” style painting. Leading paint, puffy paint and acrylic are used to achieve this look. Students will learn about the Stained Glass master, Louis Tiffany and be inspired by his art. Weather students are inspired to paint a bird, deer, flower or a landscape; this is a fun way to grow in their drawing techniques. May: This month’s project will be an 11x14 canvas painting in which students will use acrylics and their imaginations to create a modern folk art style painting. In this project students will be taught a lot of the basics in drawing, painting and brush technique to “paint what they imagine”. Students will get to choose their painting subject.

Belly Dance is one of the oldest forms of dance. Tribal dances were done because they were happy celebrations, and expressions of different moods. Today it’s considered a beautiful cultural dance. It’s expressive and an interpretation of music. It is a great Americanized dance for fun and exercise for the whole body. It is wonderful for flexibility of muscles and joints, isolating each part of the body to tone and strengthen-not highly aerobic-but definitely an overall good way to work out, have fun and tighten muscles.
