Lessons in Art
Dear friends! Who knows what the future hold for in-person art classes, so instead I'll be offering group art courses online at a discounted rate of $20/hour/person.
You can sign up for the below upcoming courses, which will host 1-5 participants each, using Zoom chat and supplementary material conveyed by email. All classes are taught live from Tucson, and you can take the class from anywhere. Here's how it works: within the hour designated, I'll share instruction and inspiring models from other artists, as well as artistic concepts that deepen arts appreciation and develop creative skills. Then we'll dive into a project and put it all into practice! You finish the project on your own if needed. Everyone sends their final work to me via email. I'll provide individual feedback, and with your approval, share your art with others in the group.
Lessons are paid for upon registration using Venmo or Square invoice online.
There are no cancellations and in the case of no-shows there are no refunds.
For classes involving children, parents must be available in the general vicinity to encourage focus and attention.
To register, email raebirdcreationsart@gmail.com

Keeping a Sketchbook
Age range: adult
Tuesday March 31 and Thursday April 2 ; 10-11AM MST
Sign up for one or multiple sessions
Stuck in the house? Now's the time to feed your creativity! Sketchbooks are places to explore new ideas and grow our art practice. Keeping a sketchbook can be freeing for the mind as you express yourself on the page, observe your inner and outer environment, and make new discoveries. We'll put aside thoughts of perfection and allow ourselves ample room for artistic experimentation. Each session is a new lesson and a unique experience. Possible topics include thinking about color, drawing from observation, quick drawing (gesture drawing), and more. Instructions and exercises are led by an artist with over 15 years of creative experience. The instructor will also share pages of her own sketchbook and some of her favorite exercises for you to take into the field.
Supplies are very simple: sketchbook OR loose sheets of paper, any color medium (could be crayons, color pencils, watercolor, markers, etc.), any drawing medium (pencil strongly recommended, pen or charcoal if you like using them), an eraser, a pencil sharpener. Email if you have supply questions: raebirdcreationsart@gmail.com
