Art Explorations: Drawing, Painting & Mixed Media (All Levels)

Class - Fall Only | Registration opens Saturday, August 29, 2026 9:30 AM MDT

Discover the joy of creating in this dynamic 9-week art course designed especially for ICL! Each week, you’ll explore a new medium—drawing, watercolor painting, collage, printmaking, and mixed media—keeping the experience fresh, engaging, and inspiring. Along the way, you’ll be introduced to key moments in art history, from the careful observation of Leonardo da Vinci and the light-filled paintings of Claude Monet to the bold experimentation of Pablo Picasso and the imaginative worlds of Salvador Dalí. These influences will guide your own creative process as you try new techniques in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

Projects are designed to be approachable and adaptable, using simple, limited supplies while encouraging creativity and personal expression. Whether you’re returning to art or trying it for the first time, this class offers a welcoming space to learn, experiment, and connect.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a collection of unique artworks and a deeper appreciation for both art-making and the stories behind it. No prior experience necessary. All skill levels welcome. $10 non-refundable fee for art supplies provided in class, above and beyond student-provided supplies.

NO CLASS on Oct. 8 and Oct. 15.
