In these art sessions, come learn how to put new drawing techniques to work, or improve and refresh your existing skills. Activities may help you develop a personal artistic style/direction.
Demonstrations and practical exercises will focus on fundamental drawing properties, shadows, composition, color and texture. Participants will review methods of paint application, color formation and visual representation. Drawing activities focused on line, value, tone, negative space, and perspective will encourage the development of drawing as a daily habit. Come and discover how to represent what you see through studies in contour drawing, positive/negative space, and creating depth.
Bring your own pad, pencils, erasers, sharpeners; supplies may be available for use in the class.
Dominique Hughes of Zola Monroe Art Group, LLC, will be offering this class. Dominique is a Mixed Media Art Educator who has been devoted to the arts and painting since she was six years old. She began her artistic training at an early age under the close tutelage of her mother, an avid painter, seamstress, and dance instructor.
“Choreography was my first form of artistic expression and it is a joy to merge my movement of thought with the movement of my paintbrush, paper and found objects to build texture to create something completely new.”
With this background, Dominique‘s work is inspired by the relationship between art, fabric, and dance. Dominique’s artwork is bursting with different creations from paintings to pieces by means of spoken word. She also involves the combination of different art genres to create something not only fresh, but unconventional. She currently teaches Mixed Media Art courses at a number of schools and centers in and around the DMV.
In her life away from teaching, Dominique is a practicing Mixed Media Artist and the Owner of Zola Monroe Art Group, LLC. ZMAG,LLC provides a service to the community where their intuitive group approach is grounded in the direct experience of engaging many types of people in the art-making process. Dominique has developed art programs for incarcerated youth, adults with acquired brain injuries, people with developmental disabilities, seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia, as well as children and the general public.
