A Room for Art

A Room for Art is a place to paint, draw, build, print, bind, glue and sculpt. Classes for children and adults are held in a sunny home studio in Arlington, MA. More than a room, it is time and space to work with your hands, enjoy materials and make your ideas concrete.

Location

A Room for Art is located in Arlington Heights at 115 Robbins Road. The Studio is down the driveway on the right side of the house.

Winter Classes 2011



Winter Session 2011 Jan 3-Mar 21
Draw and Build
This Fall we’ve worked with the theme Paint and Print. (see previous post) This winter with Draw and Build we will do more 3D work, coupled with different kinds of planning on paper- invention drawings (fantastic things we’ll never make like a spaceship), sketches for 3D pieces we will make and drawings themselves that we turn into something 3D eg. books. (We’ll draw for its own sake too !!)
To sign up for classes please email Ann annwynne@verizon.net. Tell me the birthdate of your child and which class(es) you are interested in.

Watch for the winter catalogue. I’ll be teaching a course called Critters Real and Imagined on Tuesdays from Jan 17 to Mar 15 , 3:30-5pm for Kindergarten to Grade 2 students. The course will include 2D and 3D work inspired by the amazing diversity of animals, their adaptations for survival and their visual beauty (I did not come up with the term critter!) This is offered at the Center, not my studio.
