It is not uncommon to hear adults proclaim, “I'm a beginner", or "I am not very good, but I would love to study art.” All we can say is, this is how most artist have felt at one point along their personal journeys!
It is a rare adult, who, as a newcomer to the visual arts, doesn't feel some apprehension or doubt when starting to take classes. This is understandable; they have been conditioned to think, “Art = Skill.” Granted, some do have a natural talent for the visual arts, but what most adults do not realize is that almost anyone can be taught. And even those with natural skill must continue to learn and practice.
Beginners start by; acquiring a solid understanding of basic skills, motivation to continue their lessons, and the ethic to faithfully practice just for the shear joy of art.

adventures behind every easel!
At the East Side Center for the Arts, adult classes are for all levels of students. We will include foundation skills, progressing to drawing, painting, figure and portraiture, plein air and still life set-ups. The focus will be to work from observation as much as possible in a classical style. It is our intention that you leave your classes with the knowledge to be successful as a representational or non-representational artist.
Adult classes tend to have a blend of skill levels, so individual attention is given to each artist. Adults are encouraged to participate in open studio.
Open Studio will be held on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 – 9:30.
We will be alternating between Figurative and Gesture drawing.
Open Studio is not an instructed class, but is monitored. Summer cost are $12 per session,
a 4 Wednesdays coupon book is available for the summer.
Supplies are not included, but if you forget a needed item, we're pretty sure we'll have you covered.
Space is limited, so an easel must be reserved. Call 513.561.2872
