Exploring Pastels:<\/b> Discover the expressive possibilities of oil and chalk pastels in this exploratory studio class. Students will experiment with color theory, blending, layering, texture, and mark-making techniques while developing confidence with both mediums. Through guided\/creative exercises, participants will learn how to create vibrant artworks, explore personal style, and expand their artistic skills in a relaxed and supportive environment. No prior experience is necessary. Supplies will be provided for use during class.<\/p>\n

Participants are encouraged to bring a few reference photos. The session will be from 1-4 p.m. Sept. 12 at the Mt. Morris Senior and Community Center.<\/p>\n

Pour Painting:<\/b> Pour painting, also known as fluid art or acrylic pouring, is an abstract technique where fluid acrylic paints are mixed with thinning mediums and poured, tipped, or blown across a canvas. Each person will get an 11-by-14-inch canvas and four tiles to make 4.5-inch coasters. No art experience is necessary. All supplies will be provided. <\/p>\n

The class will be from 10-11:30 a.m. Sept 19 at the Mt. Morris Senior and Community Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Encore! Mt.
