MIDDLETOWN
COMMUNITY WORKS Opens today at Middletown Art Center
The Middletown Art Center (MAC) is bustling with activity as class participants and teachers prepare for the opening reception of Community Works today, from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibit is comprised of work created in three different programs that took place at MAC this past year: Woodland Community College Lake County Campus Art 4A and the exhibit “EMERGING”, the RESTORE project, and ArtVentures for Home schoolers, each taught by MAC artists.
The 2018 spring semester was the first time Woodland Community College (WCC) offered art classes at the MAC. “I am so pleased that we are able to offer affordable access to quality semester-long Art courses for WCC” said course instructor and MAC Programs Director Lisa Kaplan. “This class was very similar to a Foundation Drawing class I taught at the Art Institute of California, San Francisco in the late 1990’s, except that WCC students are not necessarily preparing for a career in the arts. But they were receptive to the rigor and quality of instruction and learning and it shows up in their work, and in the exhibit!”
Woodland Community College will continue to offer classes at MAC during the 2019-2020 academic year beginning with Art 4B in the Fall. Those interested in developing skills drawing the human figure, landscapes, and architecture should sign up for class at https://wcc.yccd.edu/admissions/apply-today/. A prerequisite of a basic drawing class, or commensurate experience or course work is required. Contact the WCC or the MAC to learn more.
