Free E-mail Consultation
Shane wants to cater his instruction to you. To get the most out of his class from the start, he invites you to E-mail two or three images of your artwork (even doodles) and discuss your goals and what artwork inspires you. He'll reply with some recommendations on your first project and list the best materials to bring to your first class.
Check the calendar (button above) to see when classes are scheduled. One-day workshops outside will also be periodically scheduled, and those who sign-up on Shane's E-mail list will be notified when workshops are scheduled.
About Shane's Art Classes
Classes are ongoing and attended weekly at Shane's classroom studio. Shane works individually with every student one-by-one on their personal unique projects. Prospective students who are not of a beginning level are expected to bring their own ideas, sketches or photo references, and art materials to each class.
Periodically, 30-40 minutes into the first hour, he demonstrates a technique or concept for the class to watch or follow as a group exercise. Shane will explain and demonstrate exercises and techniques enabling each student's personal style to come through their work.
After the exercise, Shane walks from one student to another individually critiquing each student's progress on his or her project. Each person receives instruction in the form of recommendations, encouraging comments, and answers to questions. Sometimes Shane will quickly sketch ideas for students who have trouble visualizing ways to solve artwork problems. If permission is granted by the student, Shane will also demonstrate techniques on the students' work.
Every season Shane invites all levels of students to attend his ongoing classes. Prospective students who consider themselves "beginners" are asked to attend one free introductory session at the beginning of the season.
