Featured Class
Sketching
Date: June 8, 2022
Time: 9:00 - 11:00 am
Length: 8 weeks
Cost: $8 members
$8 non-members
Instructor: Ernesto Almada
Location: Game Room
Description: The Sketching class has a new teacher and his name is Ernesto Almada. While he may be a new instructor here, neither art, nor teaching is new to him. Ernesto is an Art major and has spent 33 years in the school district as a bilingual tutor. During that time he worked with an after school program. During that time he taught young students art skill, but teaching adults would be no different. He had several students who earned awards in local art shows. Classes will start with a foundation in basic shapes and then use those shapes to learn shading before moving on to more complete objects, 3D, still life, then finally portraits. There will be no tracing or copying of other people’s works. He wants people to show their own creativity. Students need to bring their own pencils (from 9H to 9B – The HB scale ranges from 9H, a hard pencil that leaves fine, light marks, to 9B, a soft pencil which a high ratio of graphite that leaves bold, dark marks.), or even just a #2 to start, a sharpener, as well as a sketch pad. The size of the sketchpad will depend upon a student’s personal preference. So make your mark in the world and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. That’s what they make erasers for.

Featured Activity
Yarn Crafts
Time: Fridays 10am - 12pm
Cost: Free members
Free non-members
Location: Parlor
Description: Yes, it’s true! The Knitting Group is no more! However, have no fear. It is now known as the Yarn Crafts group. However, it’s not just yarn. Now it will include crochet, needle works, embroidery, and yes, knitting. The group is still headed by Keiko Holcombe, but the others in the group will be on hand to lend their individual knowledge and skills where needed. The students will continue to work on individual projects. The class is small, with about 12-15 students, so 1 on 1 time is guaranteed. If any of these sounds like something you might be interested in, the group meets on Fridays from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
