Students will gain an understanding of how to mix, use and apply the element of color accurately. We will learn how colors affect, and are affected by, other colors. Students will benefit from this color theory class regardless of their chosen medium, as the truth of colors spans across all context. Color theory affects clothing, room and decor color as well as watercolors, glaze and painting or drawing medium. We will do exercises in color mixing with various paints, color juxtapositions with collage, light’s effect on color, etc. Students will work in collage, color pencil, pastel, watercolor and acrylic paints.

LightBox Poetry: Enjoy poetry in 3-D! Join us as we explore fun and fluid play with watercolor and words through haiku. You'll be guided to paint, then create a cube and design it with your own original poetry, and illumination. Poems will come from your own life experiences. Haiku is an easy pattern of 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line and 5 syllables in the third line. Easy to do! No experience needed.

In a nutshell, LightBox Poetry is an artistic reminder to keep holding the light of life in your hands. Facilitated by Artist and Integrative Life and Leadership Coach, Annelies Gentile, MA, PCC.
