Fall Classes & Workshops at The Center for Contemporary Art

BEDMINSTER, N.J. - July 23, 2019 - PRLog -- The Center for Contemporary Art is excited to announce its fall schedule of art classes and workshops which begins September 10th and runs through December. Classes are offered for artists of all ages and levels of expertise in a variety of media, including but not limited to oil and acrylic paint, drawing, pastels, gouache, and photography. There are over fifty-four classes and workshops for adults and over eighteen classes for children ages five through teens, including classes for children with special needs.

New offerings for adults at The Center this fall include "Adobe Photoshop Basics" which will include learning to navigate Photoshop, and edit and manipulate photographs. "Ink Painting & Drawing" introduces students to one of the oldest mediums in history, teaching how to use line, shape, and value to form a composition with a variety of mark-making techniques. "Exploring Fine Crafting" presents a variety of projects seen on Pinterest but never have the time or materials to make, which include string and nail art, macramé wall hangings, polymer clay creations, glass painting, and many more.

Additional fall highlights from The Center's diverse repertoire of class and workshop options include an "Introduction to Pastels" class, where students will learn to work with several pastels, surfaces and techniques whose subjects will range from landscapes, still life, animals, and more. Also available are a wide range of workshops, such as "Rediscovering Watercolor," "The Arts of Grisaille (Painting in Shades of Grey)," "The Art of Mosaics," and ""Pysanky – Ukrainian Christmas Ornaments."

The Center also offers an Open Life Studio on Tuesday evenings with no pre-registration required. This flexible and independent environment allows artists to draw or paint from a new model each week, through a combination of gestural poses and longer sittings.

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 for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other special needs are offered on Monday afternoons beginning September 16, and provide guided experiences that foster communication, creativity, and problem solving with hands-on activities involving clay and paint.
