2017 Fall Classes and Workshops at The Center for Contemporary Art

BEDMINSTER, N.J. - Aug. 23, 2017 - PRLog -- The Center for Contemporary Art is excited to announce its fall schedule of art classes and workshops which begins September 11th and runs through December. There are over forty-five classes and workshops for adults and over fifteen classes for children ages five through teens. Classes are offered for artists with all levels of expertise in a variety of media including oil and acrylic paint, watercolor, drawing, photography, and ceramics.

New offerings for adults at The Center this fall include "Altered Books" which will allow students to use mixed media collage techniques such as painting, printmaking photography, pasting, writing, cutting, tearing, removing and adding pages to give new life to an old book to create a mixed media artwork. Our one-day "Collage Mixed Media" workshop will teach students to create backgrounds, making papers to use for collage, printing without a press, learning about adhesives, cutting and tearing paper and working on unresolved paintings using new ideas and collage techniques. "2D Design Fundamentals" provides hands-on experiences for students using the fundamentals pf pictorial design that are common to most forms of artistic expression. Discussion, exercises and projects will introduce students to visual concepts including the picture plane, figure/ground, scale, proportion, transformation, pattern, composition, value, color and spatial illusion. Other new adult classes include "The Art of Cartooning," "Animal Portrait Painting" and "Intro to Graphic Design."

The Center's unique curriculum of children's art classes allows young artists to enroll in either overview classes that explore a broad range of media and techniques, or in-depth classes designed to deepen and develop skills in a single medium. Classes are offered on Monday afternoons for children with ASD and other special needs beginning Monday, September 18.
