Tuesdays 1:00-3:00
Online Zoom Class

Using ZOOM, in the medium of their choice, students will create 3 small artworks, one each week. In the 4th class, each student’s previous 3 artworks will be reviewed for updated changes that they incorporated from previous feedback. Students will learn how to mix a new color palette each week for a deeper understanding of how variations of elements such as lighting, color of the objects, etc. effect color mixing & placement throughout an artwork. Class size is limited to 12 to give more time for feedback on the students’ weekly art progress of their submitted photos (jpgs). Please read the Zoom Art Supplies List for details on ZOOM instruction.

Helpful Tips for Using ZOOM

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 call Carla at 941-746-2862.

Classes are held every Friday from 1:00-3:00
