I have developed a series of easy\, accessible steps that will allow participants to open their own creative and imaginative doors\, to be proud of the art they have begun to produce\, and to keep doing it\, since it has been proven that making art improves the quality of our lives.” \nNo matter what your skill level\, your past experience (or lack of experience)\, or your age\, my goal is always the same… to have you succeed with your creativity and imagination\, to learn to SEE after many lookings\, and to have fun doing it. So let’s open that door\, and let’s have some fun doing it! For this class we will be using the Ashbridge Park as inspiration to draw nature in the Summer sunlight! This class will take place on the covered porch of Ashbridge House\, rain or shine. \nTransportation can be provided from the JCC for a nominal fee of $10. To sign up with transportation\, select the alternate rate by clicking the circle next to “I am an individual registering” and then clicking on the rates. If taking transportation we will depart from the JCC at 9:15am or the New Horizons Senior Center in Narberth at 9:30.
