Art 101 Sampler Course (4 Weeks) – Rentals @ Riverside
March 30 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Art 101 Sampler Course (4 Weeks)
Description Provided by Rhizome Studios
In this 4-week sampler course, you will learn hands-on art skills, general design principles, and some basic color theory. We’ll do projects that will allow you to experiment with four different types of artmaking: cut paper collage, monoprinting (relief printmaking), basic weaving, and drawing from life. Each project will incorporate different skills, building from the most basic cut-paper designs to more complex ways of seeing and working with color.
Our projects make room for individualization and creative expression, which makes this course suitable for people coming in from a variety of experience levels. You could be a beginner with zero art background or an intermediate-level artist who wants to learn some new skills or get back into making art! For all the details, visit: https://rhizomeartstudio.com/new-classes/#anchor2
You must purchase some supplies; ink and paper for relief printmaking are covered. Most tools are provided.

Instructor Bio:
Hi, I’m Lena! My pronouns are xé/xem (they/them is fine, too). I’m a printmaker, artist, and art educator. I love teaching. I earned my BFA degree in printmaking and painting from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, where I also studied art education. I later graduated from Michigan State University with my MFA degree in printmaking. You can find me on Facebook: www.fb.com/rhizome.studio and on Instagram @ rhizome.artstudio
I’m an older millennial, white, and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. I believe diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential to education and to being in community together. I’m autistic (undiagnosed), and I’ve taught many neurodiverse college students. I’m kind of an outdoorsy geek – I love hiking and kayaking, but also science fiction and reading. I think of myself like this: Art is my career, teaching is my passion, and writing stories is my not-so-secret obsession.
I love teaching. I see our studio classroom as a creative community where we all work together and support each other. It’s my job to help you succeed at learning new things about art. (If you want to know more about my professional experience as an educator, you can find that information on my website.)
