In this 6‐week class, students will be introduced to the basics of painting with Acrylic paints. Each week the instructor will offer a new lesson in technique that will help beginners develop a set of skills. Those skills will soon lead the student to creating their own unique acrylic paintings.

About the Instructor

Chris Ingram earned a B.F.A. in Studio Art. This degree, however, was only the beginning as he has spent a lifetime making, studying and teaching art and art history. He lived in Europe as a child and had the opportunity to see many of the great works of Western Art in person, a truly formative experience. Chris believes that art is for everyone and that art should be of much greater importance in our K-12 classrooms.
