Class information:
• RSVP TODAY!!! ART: ANY SUBJECT, ANY MEDIA WITH DANNY JONES: Danny Jones has studied and taught all types of art around the U.S. During his time with Mansfield School District, he was so well loved they named a school after him "Danny Jones Middle School". His ability to recognize the students strengths and weaknesses have helped him guide each person to discover how to build on their own artistic abilities. Each day begins with a "mini lesson" emphasizing drawing or other skills to strengthen abilities and build confidence. Afterwards, he works through the class with each student, makes suggestions and collaborates about the design elements of their project. Regardless if you are a novice or advanced student, you will gain valuable knowledge and improve on your artistic abilities in this class. In this workshop, each student will work on art compositions completely of their own choice using the medium they prefer. You may sketch your beginning piece of art on paper or canvas before the first class or, if you prefer, you can begin sketching after discussing the design elements with Danny. Workshop will be both fun and educational. Let Danny help get that painting in your head onto your canvas! All levels are welcome at this class.
