"The whole world, as we experience it visually, comes to us through the mystic realm of color." Hans Hoffman
In honor of National Arts and Humanities Month, NCLAC Arts Academy is proud to offer a new adult class at a discounted rate. Nicole Duet's Color and Composition Workshop will offer even seasoned painters a fresh look at the study of color theory. The class will meet on Saturday, October 22 and Saturday, October 27, from 9:00am to 12:00pm. The fee for the two-day class is $30 for NCLAC members, and $35 for non-members.
This hands-on workshop is a color intensive divided into two parts. In the first half students build their color awareness through the practice of mixing. Secondary benefits include learning to mix with intention and getting the most variety out of a limited palette.
The second half focuses on an introduction to fundamentals of composition. Students will complete a small painting while studying basic principles of color harmony. Course includes slide lectures, personalized attention, and instructor demonstrations.
Nicole Duet is a New Orleans native who has recently returned from southern California to become an Asst. Professor at LA Tech School of Art.
