From its humble beginning of art lessons at Pat Beréskin’s kitchen table, the Art Academy at both the Family Museum and the Figge Art Museum has taken off and now serves 200+ students weekly. These classes offer a smaller learning environment surrounding artists with peers and teachers who are personally invested in art education.
Students in these classes at the Family Museum have the opportunity to:
- Learn basic concepts of value, form, depth, color mixing, anatomy, and sight size.
- Experiment with different mediums including pastels, watercolor, acrylic, pen and ink, pencil, printmaking, sculpture, and fabric.
- Gain experience with drawing from life and not solely from the imagination.
- Learn to view the world through careful observation and an artistic eye.
Students are expected to follow directions, interact with peers in an artistically-driven and supportive manner, make observations, clean up after themselves, and take care of supplies. $85 materials fee and 9 monthly payments of $85.
