This class is in need of a student assistant (class monitor). A student assistant helps the instructor and other students with zoom issues during class. There are usually very few issues and typically involves helping people with tasks such as unmuting themselves. Beyond that, you are still able to fully participate in the class as a student. In exchange for this helpful service, Gage offers a 55% reduction in the tuition of the class that you assist for. If you would like to help out and have some experience with zoom, please email chad@gageacademy.org The position is not guaranteed. Colored pencil is a fun, forgiving, and versatile medium that is easy for the beginning artist, and a refreshing change for watercolor painters or graphite artists. As you learn how to use colored pencils to portray plant subjects, the class will cover basics of the medium and colored pencil techniques including layering, blending, and building saturation with luminosity, while incorporating the observation techniques and elements of botanical illustration. All levels are welcome. For those who are experienced, work at your own pace with plenty of guidance and individual attention.
