One Month of Art Classes
Keeping a Sketchbook
(Adult) ages 16 and above)

This class is purposed to teach an individual more than how to keep a sketchbook. Most importantly it is a method to help individuals find and take a few minutes each day to disconnect from their routine and find their creative mind set if only for a few minutes.

Keeping a sketchbook is an amazing tool for looking back and remembering pleasant moments and better managing the not so pleasant moments. A glimpse of a sketch can amazingly take one back to remembering the exact moment and the day the image was created.

Sketching can be a form of art therapy that quiets your left brain while allowing your right brain to express itself. This act can lead to a relaxing, meditative state.

Sketching daily will sharpen your observational skills. Your sketchbook Offers a relaxing and informal place in which to work. Your sketchbook is your private oasis, their is no right or wrong and their are no expectations of a polished work of art. It is the process that is important.

The classes include the first week in the studio reviewing and experimenting with various mediums. The next three classes will be at various locations in SLC. All locations will be easily accessible by Trax or bus.

A materials list will be provided and students may purchase their own supplies
The cost of registration includes one individual for four classes. Classes will be held Weekday evenings.

KSL Deals Workshops 2015

 I am proud to Announce two new workshops to be held at Pioneer Craft House in South Salt Lake City. The workshops will lay the groundwork for open studio opportunities to work on your own projects. I will be teaching the workshops and mentoring students in open studio project classes.

"Art for the Entrepreneur" is an overview of how to make visual content for your social and content marketing needs. We will discuss the foundation for creating a plan and then setup some examples to photograph and demonstrate different lighting techniques for photography and videography. Those who need creative companionship and mentoring and who want and need a space to work on creating their own content can continue with our open studio opportunities.
  The "Art for the Entrepreneur" project is in its infancy and is already gaining momentum. This is the only opportunity in the Salt Lake Valley I know of that is focused on bringing out the artist in the business man or woman. The project is sponsored in part by Pioneer Craft House a ZAP funded organization.  To outreach to local artisans and businesses we are working with South Salt Lake Arts Counsel and the chamber of commerce.
   As the project advances we will be bringing in social marketing experts in content writing, and social marketing platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The project is already linking individuals and businesses with each other as well as web audiences.

"ART Sampler Workshop"
To introduce our new open studio art classes, we are offering this workshop to assist individuals in identifying what art experience one might enjoy the most.
Do you need creative companionship or mentoring to develop your own artistic style? And a place to come work on your project? Then this workshop and Pioneer Craft house is for you.
Open studio opportunities include:
Drawing and painting
Oil and Acrylic painting
Sculpture
Digital "Hands On" photography

Both workshops are being scheduled as well as the open studio classes.
