Greetings! I usually try to be upbeat in my newsletter opening, but I recently read an article about "Languishing" by Adam Grant, who describes the condition, and also outlines the cure. Languishing can dull your motivation and focus and may be the dominent emotion of 2021.You are not depressed, but a have some emptiness from the emotional long-haul of the pandemic. Grant suggests that a state called "Flow" may be the antidote to languishing. Flow happens when people become immersed in an event, project, or artwork. This new class schedule includes online and in person classes that can promote your "Flow". This summer I'm offering a "Wholistic Arts" class that allows you to explore a range of media to see which calls your name.... Also, below you will find Beginning Drawing, Therapeutic Charcoal, and Intuitive Painting. While I will continue to offer some online classes, this summer I am beginning several in-person classes at my studio. Vaccinations and masking will matter, as we negotiate this new reality. Keep being creative! Donna Webb 

Online Beginning Drawing Eight weeks on Wednesdays, May 11 - July 6, 2021  Ages 12 - Adult  Artists are “See-ers”. They literally see the world around them in a different way than the rest of us. Yet, all of us have the ability to be “see-ers”. To learn how to draw, we must first learn to “look” without preconceptions. We will practice this artist’s way of looking and drawing from observation, and experiment with a number of drawing techniques that have been used by artists over the centuries.
