Fall Art Classes For Adults

DANBURY — Wooster Community Art Center (WCAC) is now accepting registrations for its fall art courses. The center offers 45 classes and workshops in the visual arts for adults, teens and children, with classes held in well-equipped studios and on location sites.

Adults may choose from trips, classes and workshops in the fine arts including drawing, painting (oil, watercolor, landscape, acrylic), portraiture, life drawing, photography, sculpture, pottery and art history.

Workshops include “Landscape Painting at Weir Farm,” on September 22, where participants will paint on location at the National Historic Site and Park in Wilton; “Three-Dimensional Sketching with Clay,” Tuesdays, October 2 to 23, with a different model for each two-week session; and “Teapot & Teacup,” October 27, during which students will create their own clay tea set that will be kiln-fired.

Trips will include a Friday series to regional and New York City museums that will heighten students’ understanding and appreciation of art, led by WCAC teacher Alexander Shundi; and a trip to Storm King Art Center on Saturday, September 29, to see Alexander Calder’s exhibit, “Grand Intuitions: Calder’s Monumental Sculpture,” led by John Pindyck Miller.

There are classes on “Creative Self-Expression,” on Saturday, November 3; art history classes on “The Medici and Art of Florence,” October 22, and 29, and November 5; “Renaissance Women,” November 19 and “Thomas Eakins and Winslow Homer,” October 15.

Classes begin the week of September 17. All levels are welcome. Courses are taught by practicing, professional artists with teaching experience. Because class size is limited, early registration is recommended.
