Saturday

  

The art of songwriting is one that just about anyone can learn. Whether or not you’ve tried your hand at music composition in the past, this class will give you the opportunity to get creative, or receive re-assurance to continue your passion for songwriting. The class will be an interactive, exploration of songwriting, tools, techniques, including guest artists sharing their process and work. While it will be useful to have access to a musical instrument this is not a requirement. Each class participant will be encouraged to write and develop a song during the session, receiving feedback and support along the way, with a final session “special event” performance of our class songwriters.

This workshop offers an opportunity to improve your watercolor painting focusing on fundamental elements such as colors, value patterns, perspectives, and composition. It is intended for students who have experience with watercolors. Bring your own materials and reference photos. Mike gives lessons from 10:00 - 12:00, but all students contribute to the class by sharing experience, feedback and critiquing each other’s work. Students decide on their own hours to work independently or with lessons.
