Colored Pencil, Melissa Miller Nece

Melissa Miller Nece B-A
Saturdays 10:00-4:00

Professional quality colored pencils are versatile and easy to master, whether you use regular colored pencils or water-soluble ones. They’re great for realistic work, miniatures and even bold abstracts. Learn techniques for beautiful results with both types of pencils used together or separately. Projects will be available for step by step instruction or bring your own subject matter. If you don’t have your own pencils, assorted sets of both types will be available for use in class. Some paper and other tools are also provided.

Arts & Healing Program

Arts & Healing
Jan Wright
Fridays, 1:00-3:00

The Arts & Healing Program focuses on adults who are experiencing mild to moderate dementia/memory loss. The Arts have been shown to have a profound and lasting impact on people of all ages, economic and cultural backgrounds. Involvement in the arts is associated with gains in learning, cognitive ability, problem-solving, critical thinking, and motor and verbal skills. The creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and achieve insight.

If you know someone who could benefit from this program, please email Carla, acm@artcentermanatee.org
