Molly Leith, professionally trained artist and Andover resident, is offering a beginner art class for adults, on five Thursdays, beginning June 20 and skipping July 4, 6:30-8:30 PM.  The series will take place at The Andover Community Hub, 157 Main Street in Andover.

The class is intended to combine technical skills training, art history, and fun.  Participants will develop observational skills, compositional strategy, and a knowledge of color theory and style.  They’ll gain confidence in their own creative abilities while also exploring the work of a variety of well-known artists including Kathe Kollowitz, Claude Monet, Georgia O’keeffe, Josef Albers, and Franz Bischoff.

Pre-registration and pre-payment for the series is required; the fee for the series is $125. Participants are asked to register by contacting TheAndoverHub@nullgmail.com by the registration deadline of June 13.  As an early-registration incentive, the first five students to register will receive a signed artist’s print by Molly Leith.

Payment is requested before the class begins.  Checks may be made out to Molly Leith and mailed to her at 12 Shirley Road, Andover, NH, 03216, or dropped off at The Hub during open hours.  

Most class materials and supplies will be provided by the instructor, but students are asked to bring their own acrylic paints, either individual tubes or a basic set that includes black, white, red, blue & yellow (good sets can be found at Michael’s for around $20, and specific suggestions will be provided at registration), as well as a 2B pencil and a 6B pencil.
