March 2023 “More Than a Painting” Art Workshop with Nancy Mitchell - Thursday, March 2, 2023, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Nancy Mitchell says, “Come join me and paint an Expressionist Rooster by Otto Dix. Hope to see you there!” Classes suit both artists and beginners. Nancy Mitchell believes anyone can learn to draw and be creative. However, in today’s world not many people have time for weekly art classes. This class is based on a painting she designs to mimic the style of a renowned artist. The step-by-step process enables each student to recreate the painting, adding their personal style. Students also learn basics about composition and color mixing. In addition to artist facts and a touch of art history throughout the lesson, students receive a handout on the artist. The students leave with a finished art piece to hang in their home at the end of their class. Nancy Mitchell has been teaching art for 38 years. As an educator and artist, she practices a variety of media including basic drawing, batik workshops and charcoal. Registration is $50 and includes all supplies.
