Experience the Crocker's world-renowned collection and diverse exhibitions through discussion and artmaking, and let great art of the past and present inspire your own creative expression.

Practice a diverse range of techniques for depicting light and shadow in a variety of media such as charcoal, acrylic paint, and color pencil. Apply these new skills, including blending, layering, and mark-making, to create value and contrast, resulting in dynamic and dramatic compositions.

Most classes include at least one gallery visit to view the permanent collection or a special exhibition. The Museum's highly trained staff and instructors are committed to providing students of all experience levels with a supportive and engaging experience.

Advance registration required.
