BCC to Offer Art Workshops in Great Barrington
Aspiring artists, or anyone wishing to explore artistic painting, still have time to register for the following credit courses offered this spring by Berkshire Community College at its South County Center in Great Barrington:“Fundamentals of Painting” (FAS 210) is a basic introduction to the materials, techniques and concepts of painting. Taught by HM Saffer, classes meet Monday afternoon, Jan. 26 through May 18, from 1 to 4:50.
“Watercolor Painting” (FAS 245) is a basic introduction to the materials and techniques of watercolor painting. Students learn dry- and wet-paper techniques, "resist" practices, and experimental methods. Taught by Colleen Quinn, classes meet Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 20 through May 12, from 1 to 4:50.
The following two advanced courses meet simultaneously with their counterpart introductory class:
“Intermediate Painting” (FAS 240), taught by Saffer, incorporates the exploration of color, representation, abstraction, and other concepts and axioms of design.
“Watercolor Painting II” (FAS 246), taught by Quinn, emphasizes a fuller understanding of watercolor materials and terminology; a more sophisticated compositional sense; and the beginnings of a personal aesthetic.
