The course offers an introduction to the basics of painting for beginners, and a chance for more experienced painters to work with a group and discuss their works of art, with instructor feedback to help problem-solve, this studio course offers enrichment through exposure to the varied approaches of the individual participants .. Subjects taught through lecture in the first class, and through individual critiques on other nights, include: characteristics of different painting media, information about materials and supplies, color theory and pigment suggestions, painting techniques, composition, light and form. Work will be done from observation (from still life or photographs) and will utilize your choice of acrylics, water-based oils, oils, or watercolor. Other media (including pastels) are also welcomed. Materials needed are: paints (or pastels), non-allergenic solvent for oil painters, brushes, palettes or palette paper; other specific material needs will be discussed on the first evening for beginners. The first evening offers a lengthy discussion of “how-tos” for beginners; experienced painters should come to this class prepared to work, and beginners may come prepared to start the preliminary sketch on their first painting while they listen and ask questions. 

Prerequisite: A basic knowledge of drawing, gained either through instruction or equivalent experience, is helpful; if this experience is lacking, consider bringing drawing supplies and learning this skill first, with instructor assistance.

Irish dancing is traditional Gaelic or Celtic dance forms that originated in Ireland. It can be performed as a solo or in groups of up to twenty or more trained dancers. In Ireland, Irish dance is part of social dancing or may be for formal performances and competitions.

It is performed traditionally with intricate footwork and is most known for the dancers performing with a stiff upper body. Unlike other dance forms, Irish dancers do not move their arms or hands so that footwork is accented.
