Fine Arts Lesson at Cleveland Park Library with Dominique

About this event

Description: Delve into the world of Fine Arts with Dominique in an engaging and interactive class. Explore various art forms, from traditional to contemporary, diving into techniques, history, and the expressive power of visual arts. Dominique, an experienced instructor, guides students through a journey of artistic discovery, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and a deeper appreciation for art. Engage in discussions, hands-on activities, and explore your artistic potential in this dynamic and enriching class designed to inspire and ignite a passion for the arts. The class is structured and skill-building, but absolutely beginner-friendly, and we focus on drawing and painting techniques that support confidence and creative growth.

Right now at Cleveland Park, we’re working with both graphite (drawing pencils) and acrylic paint. For graphite, a simple set of three or four drawing pencils will do just fine, different softness levels like 2B, 4B, and 6B are great. For acrylics, participants will need basic supplies like a few paintbrushes, a palette for mixing, a surface to paint on (canvas sheets, canvas boards, or stretched canvas are all fine), and a water jar for rinsing brushes.
