Classes for Teens
The Mill Art Center & Gallery provides an environment in which the community can express and develop their artistic abilities through instruction, observation and interaction with professional artists. Our unique blend of classroom studios and professional gallery exhibition space encourages students to immerse themselves in art, with inspiration from instructors and the art that surrounds them. Our small class sizes ensure that each student gets plenty of one on one time in every class.
Children and teen classes follow the public school calendar. Arrangements may be made with specific instructors for make-up classes. Gift certificates for art classes and art purchases are available.
Due to a generous member donation and grant funding from the Genesee Valley Council of the Arts, the Mill At Center and Gallery is excited to be able to offer sign language interpreting for classes, talks and related programs. In order to successfully schedule an interpreter, we respectfully ask that requests are made two weeks prior to an event.

Abstract Landscape Painting Workshop
In this workshop we will explore creating spirited and compelling landscape paintings. Take a look at any plein air painting you have done, enlarge a section and you will see that you have been working with abstraction all along. We never actually paint what we see, we translate the environment into color, form, line and composition, mentally cropping and tweaking, resizing, and placing it on a flat surface called a painting. We will be working with what you already know and moving toward an abstract vision.
Connie has added a color exercise, exploring primary and secondary color, mass tone and undertone, warm and cool pigments and how they work in a landscape. Open to artists of all levels and working in all mediums. Most materials will be provided.
Day will include:
1. Short overview of some abstract landscape painters 2. Demonstration of paint applications 3. Paint sketching from provided images 4. Discussion on distilling your vision 5. Applying abstraction in the plein air setting 6. Review of dimensional space and flat space
You will need to bring your lunch, and apron, your phone/camera, and an open spirit of exploration!

ELEMENTS OF DESIGN
Positive and Negative Shape creation, Unity, Balance, Illusion of space and Focal point are all important design principles in the creation of art. We will work with each element separately to understand their use in compositions and see how other artists have used them in their work. This is a class on concepts and we will use mostly collage materials to study each concept and create many variations in a collaborative workshop environment. These design concepts are applicable to all forms of 2 dimensional art and used in many combinations in drawing, painting and photography.
All materials will be provided.
