July 17 & 18, 2008 ~ Summar School Painting Class
We are looking forward to teaching more students and adults oil painting. The two classes will be held on July 17th and 18th at the Stellar Academy in Fremont, California. Approximately 42 students will participate. Painting subject for students is Rainbow Lake, and for adults, Hidden Valley Falls.
Helping Hands for the Arts, Inc. offers instruction in art programs and schools in Oregon and parts of California. At the Stellar Academy for Dyslexics, children and staff paint an 11" x 14" oil painting in a two hour session. The paintings are done by the students themselves with the instructor, Weldon Oliver, demonstrating each step. The oil paints used are safe and clean up easily with water. No toxic thinners are used.
No prior experience is needed as each painting is unique. At the end of the two hour session, paintings are hung on the walls to dry for two weeks. As a result of the class, each child takes home a completed painting, an accomplishment of their own. They also have experienced the joy of creativity and self expression, and the rewards of sharing this experience with others.
