OHC Art Classes

Children’s Art Class

The OHC is putting together art classes for children from tots to teens. The classes for tots will concentrate on developing basic physical skills necessary for proper child development. The classes for older children will concentrate on developing technique and exploring media.

The cost for the Children’s Art Class is $60 per month for OHC Members and $80 for non-members. The classes will begin on Saturday, March 5 from 10:00am-12:00pm.

If your child has an interest in art and would like to be part of one of the programs call the OHC office at 912-285-4260 or email Steve Bean at sbean@wayxcable.com.







Understanding Color: Improving Your Work through Color Theory



Ever wonder why certain colors work together in painted art the way they do? Or how they mix and combine for visual effects in paintings that always get certain reactions from viewers? Want to better master the science of these secrets for your own artworks so that you can use this knowledge at will, and with better understanding? Local Area Artist Les Walker brings his lifetime of experience using and studying Color in Art, which includes a degree from Savannah College of Art and Design, Art and Murals at the Jacksonville Zoo, and a wide range of other endeavors.



Supplies needed are: acrylic paint (basic colors only as you will be mixing what you need), brushes, illustration board and possibly an easel. Most works will not be very large and can be done on desk or tables provided.

Any and all painting supplies can also be obtained at Sweet P’s in Hoboken, GA.



The course will be covered in six continuous sessions, starting Saturday morning March 5th and each Saturday after, concluding on Saturday April 9th. Each session will run from 10am to 12 noon.

By the end of the final session, the artists/students will have produced by their own hand, usable reference tools for the better understanding of color, and at least one work of art showing applications of the learned information.
