BASIC DRAWING Part I: Valorie Snyder, Instructor
Have you ever wished you could draw well but wondered whether you could? This class teaches you to “see” differently so that you can draw more accurately. You will learn right brain and old master exercises, as well as one-point and two-point perspective. You will receive new exercises each class to practice during the week.
Part 1: 6 Weeks; Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30 Sept 8-Oct 13, 2009

BASIC DRAWING Part II: Valorie Snyder, Instructor
This class builds on the right brain training exercises covered in Part I (Attending the Part I class is helpful, but not required). The emphasis of this class is learning to see accurately through portrait drawing. You will learn how to draw faces from profile, ¾, and full front views, how to get an accurate likeness, and tips about drawing each of the features.

BEGINNING/INTERMEDIATE OIL PAINTING
If you have ever felt lost or frustrated in a painting class, you will find it very different here. Valorie has developed a comprehensive curriculum, which takes students through basic information, such as types of brushes and how to apply paint, and moves into painting techniques and color theory. You will choose your own subjects as you complete assigned exercises and progress at your own pace. If you have painted before, you can build on what you already know and fill in information you may have missed in previous art classes. The class includes lectures, demonstrations, and individual help.
Supply List: Bring supplies to first class!
Important: This class requires the use of non-toxic Turpenoid Natural (in the GREEN can), rather than turpentine or other dangerous solvents. Bring a small jar with a tight fitting lid for your turpenoid.
Brushes:
If you already have brushes, bring what you have. I recommend bristle brushes (the stiff ones), small, medium and large (sizes 4, 6, 8, & 10 or something similar).
Bristle Filberts (flat with rounded corners) are most versatile. Also bring soft flat brushes in several sizes, a fan brush and a liner brush (size 0 or 1). If you have questions about these, bring a couple of flat brushes to your first class, and we will discuss the differences in class.
Oil Colors: (If you are beginning and can’t afford all these colors, you can begin with the starred * colors.) *Cobalt Blue; *Cadmium Red Medium (or Winsor Red, or Grumbacher Red); *Cadmium Yellow Light (or Cadmuim Yellow Lemon); *Titanium White; *Ivory Black; *Yellow Ochre
Later, you can get: Ultramarine Blue; Alizarin Crimson; Cadmium Red Light; Cerulean Blue; Sap Green; Naples Yellow (I like Naples Yellow Light); Burnt Sienna; Burnt Umber
-Liquin, a painting medium
-Palette – A 9x12, disposable paper palette or any kind you prefer to use. The best disposable is the Grey Matters palette by Jack Richeson.
-Palette Knife (not plastic)
-Canvas pad, 11 x 14. This is a pad, like a sketchbook, of sheets of canvas
-Rags and a roll of paper towels
-Small Sketchbook, pencil, eraser, ruler.
-Plastic tablecloth or covering – a large trash bag will do.
-Easel - a portable floor easel or sturdy table easel
- 1 or 2 pieces cardboard or fome cor, each about 16 x 25. You will tape your wet canvas sheets on these to carry them home.
-Masking Tape
-Small sheet of clear red-orange acetate (available at Jerry's Artarama or Guiry’s art department; ask for it)
-Color Wheel and a Value Scale, for reference, if you already have them.
-Several reference photos – simple landscapes or still life pictures to practice painting from. We will paint both from photos and from life.
Later you can bring canvas boards or stretched canvas.
Hint: To get everything to class, some students use a plastic wheeled toolbox from Walmart (in the automotive department). These come in two parts and are much less expensive than the art boxes in art supply stores. Another option is to use an old suitcase with wheels
