||| FROM SUSAN SLAPIN |||
Join Susan at The Senior Center starting March 12. Class meets Wednesday afternoons from 2:00 – 4:00 for an inspiring journey into Creativity, an Interdisciplinary Art Course. $20. per session. 10 participant maximum.
The focus is definitely on Visual (The Elements of Art) Art. Next: some poetry, writing, meditation, and improvisation. A bit of stretching or music to begin, sometimes. A journey of introspection and authentic voice – creative expression. Depth and humour included.
From skill building to loosening up. There will be prompts each week, starting with first session of questions and materials overview. Although, materials can be kept super simple, see the obvious pictured here, and or contact Susan with any questions. Basically, Sketch books and note pad – journals, to start. Pencils, pens, color pencils, charcoal or graphite if you have it. Ruler, compass, a mirror, black and color markers, your own photos or sketches, ideas thoughts and inquiries. All in the “Becoming.”
Sign up book is located at The Senior Center front desk.
Susan has been teaching art for a long time. Attended San Francisco Art Institute, graduated from Marylhurst University, taught art at Ojai Valley School, Artists in the Schools in Portland, Studio classes on Orcas, and Art Retreats, especially Mandalas!

The Class will form with lots of content, books, and definitely take shape by the folks who are moved to show up. Ages young adult through Seniors.
In this very weird and wild time, let’s encourage The Creative Spirit, inquiry, beauty, and empower ourselves, while connecting with our island Community.
