Art classes for adults
The main focus of the class will be to improve drawing and painting skills through observational still life work. Lana Arkhi will attend to each student separately and as the class is not taught as a group, a full range of levels can be accommodated. Students will have the opportunity to use a variety of mediums ranging from pencil, charcoal, pastel and paint together with collage and mixed media. The emphasis will be on mastering the basic skills of drawing and painting by improving observational skills together with learning techniques for using tone and colour.

All levels are welcome as the class is taught on an individual basis but students must be turning 13 or above (year 8 and above) to be included in the class.
