Beginner Painting:

No books are required for this class! It is a Lecture and hands on class!

This is a continuing education class. The basic skills you will have learned in the Inro. to Painting will have prepared you for the Beginner Painting classes. All beginner students must have some knowledge of painting, perspective and basic drawing skills. These are learned in the intro classes. The students in this class will focus on still life painting and hand picked projects given by the instructor. We will go through the process of light source shading and make 3D images with paint. We will explore the vast verity of painting mediums and work with some, if not all of them, through out the classes.
The class will have a grading system and grading will be based on the following:
Accuracy and skill execution
Following directions
Presentation of completed projects
Although there are materials here at Classy Chasy’s Art Studio please…..
Have all you materials with you when you come to class. Presentation is everything so strive for the best possible. Your pride in you work is a reflection of you seriousness about this class. Please don’t expect to immediately be a master in the process of painting. This is a learning experience. As such, enjoy the highs and lows that may come with learning these skills. Most of all TALK TO ME! When you have a problem or are confused about directions, the use of a tool, the process, or techniques.


Beginner Painting is approximately 2 hr. long.
√Cost of class is $25.00 per hr.


Intermediate Painting:

This class is a continuing education class as well. The students in this class will learn, in addition to the Beginner Painting skills, How to paint different media in mediums at a master level.
These students should have mastered at least 3 of the 5 mediums offered by Classy Chasy’s Art Studio. In this class we will apply the medium: Egg Tempura. We will work with different tolls and found objects to create light textured canvas surfaces and heave texture and how to tackle painting on these surfaces. The students will learn the value of multi-dimensional painting.

We will be working and focusing on the following:
√ A painting based on drawings done from nature or man-made objects.
√ A painting done as a traditional still-life
√ A self- portrait on reflection of ones- self
√ A non-conventional painting using non-conventional materials.
(Emphasis in the work will be done on the imagination and innovative ideas of the student.)

These techniques will be mastered before moving on to new projects in the curriculum.
These will be light class work and might be some take home projects. There is critiquing and grading.

Once again, as in beginner class this will be done as follows:
*Accuracy- how well student has mastered skills
**Following directions
***Presentation


The prep work has been done in the beginner Painting classes and these students know what I expect of them in this class. At the conclusion of the class the students will be introduced to out door landscape painting.
This class will be as long or as short as you make it. The mastering of skill is not determined on how fast or slow you pick up on it. We will have opportunities to enter works done in this class, into art shows and also in competitions. (This is with the interest and consent of the art student.) This is a good experience for the student who wants to do art as a profession or would like to expand their culture. When you have been successful in mastering all the projects, skills and techniques, then you can move on to Advanced Painting classes.

This class too, is a continuing education class. The students in this class have taken all the classes offered here at Classy Chasy’s and are wanting to expand their knowledge of art skills and techniques.

We will be making and preparing our own canvases and will have the chance to enter works done at Classy Chasy’s, into different competitions, shows and galleries.
This class focuses on real life study. These students will need some form of transportation, otherwise the instructor will provide it for them. We will be going to different locations to capture life and environment surroundings. There will be critiquing and grading in the life study class.
