​This class is run in collaboration with Lexington High School’s Munroe Art Mentors Club. President & LHS sophomore Hannah Sul is excited to develop more opportunities for local students to connect, after joining MCA as a volunteer and summer camp counselor. The club encourages local teens to get involved in the arts, participate in the community, and develop leadership experiences as positive role models for younger student bases.

Do you love to paint and draw? Join this long-running group where students can always ask for technical support under the guidance of an experienced instructor while pursuing their individual artistic interests. We can explore drawing and painting skills, use of expressive line, color and composition, as well as new techniques and materials that may be introduced or invented to support your individual direction. We are interested in all subjects: still-lives, landscape, abstraction, portraits, fantasy, painting from photos, or something completely new that you may introduce! All materials are provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own favorites.
