ADULT CLASSES
we are here to help you become a better artist!
The CAA schedules classes and workshops in a variety of subjects, media and skill levels throughout the year. Classes are held in our Classroom space on the third floor of the Village Hall, although some classes are held on location - such as Mary Nolan's Plein Air Painting Courses. Space is limited, so if you are interested in a class, don't wait to sign up! Have a suggestion for a class? Let's hear it! We are very open to suggestions and the potential to expand our class offerings.

We will focus on abstract painting, but students are encouraged to explore their own style. You will have the opportunity to complete paintings on wood panels and paper. This class is suitable for beginners as well as artists interested in working in a new medium. What is Cold Wax? Cold wax is a unique medium that allows you to build up layers and selectively reveal aspects of those beneath. This soft beeswax paste is not heated, but is mixed with oil paint or other materials (such as pigments, ash, charcoal etc.). It is a flexible and forgiving medium that invites experimentation and an attitude of playfulness. Where? This class will meet at the specified dates and times in the Cooperstown Art Association's Upstairs Classroom Space. |
