2022: Carla’s Yearlong Class

Welcome to our 10th yearlong class! This year we are asking 12 very special Guest Artists to teach the main lessons. You might know a few of them from past classes like: Henrik Drescher, Andrea D’Aquino and Julie Paschkis. But most of them will be teaching with us for the first time like: Katherine Streeter, Scott Menchin, Yvetta Fedorova, Wu Wing Yee and “Starhead Boy” — plus some surprises and a few yet to be discovered! Reaching out to these illustrators and artists is one of my favorite things to do and I love that we get have lessons from people I have always admired.

I’ve asked the Guest Teachers to create a mixed-media lesson which will include both a warm-up and a main project, and you can expect lessons in acrylic and watercolor painting, drawing and illustration, collage, paper cutting and more! In addition, I have project planned that we will work on together all year long (and will be introduced in the first “Welcome” video January 4th). A few days after each lesson we will meet via Zoom where I’ll share work inspired by that month’s lesson, demo some drawing and creativity exercises, and then we will continue working together on the month’s assignment or the special project. (It’s also a time to ask any questions and get feedback on works in progress.)
