ART, CULTURE & LANGUAGE<br />
Let’s Paint a Picture...<br />
It’s easier than you think.<br />
Presented by Rick Irons, this art class begins with the basics. Rick<br />
will share his experience and methods as creative graphic artist and<br />
toy designer. Step-by-step lessons will show you how to create your<br />
own painting renditions using water-based pigments (water colors)<br />
as our primary media.<br />
Some painting<br />
experience is good<br />
but beginners are<br />
welcome.<br />
We may introduce<br />
other added materials<br />
to be mixed into your<br />
composition. Rick<br />
plans to show some<br />
art samples to the<br />
class, followed by a discussion of the first class project. He plans for<br />
the class to begin their painting on the first day.<br />
Every student will need to buy a basic watercolor set, some<br />
brushes, watercolor paper, and pencil. Bring a one-quart plastic<br />
container for water to clean our brushes, some newspaper and<br />
masking tape to protect our classroom tables.<br />
Below is a list of course materials you will need. If you already<br />
have these items, bring them on first day of class. Available at<br />
Amazon.com and most Art and Hobby stores.<br />

that look interesting and unique.”<br />
“Thanks to this class I now can do watercolors a<br />
whole lot better. And these new skills help me with<br />
