Through a series of discussions and demonstrations, Anne will teach about technique, color, composition, perspective, and light & shadow.  Captivating, but simple, still life arrangements will be set up in each class for inspiration.  Students are also welcome to bring interesting objects and/or photos to class. A bit of Art History will be reviewed to show the masterpieces that have been created using collage and mixed media.  This is a very relaxing class and perfect for anyone interested in playing with composition, color, texture and form.  Drawing and painting skills are not required.
