BEGINNING ACRYLIC WORKSHOP - A Tasty Exploration
Instructor: Phyllis Taylor
Saturday, July 19, 1-4 pm
$40 for members and $50 for non-members

This is a paint and eat event. The 3 hr workshop explores beginning acrylics by painting a fancy desert that is provided, followed by a party eating the desert. The instructor will provide art boards, paints, basic brushes, and a small dessert (probably a cupcake) that will be each person’s subject to draw and paint. Students are welcome to bring their own brushes and paints. But if you don't have them, the instructor will provide the supplies to use during class so if anyone feels like acrylics just isn’t their medium, they are not out a batch of supplies. Instructor is also willing to have a few serious high school students as participants too.
About the Instructor: I am retired after having a career as a graphic designer and illustrator at Indiana University (IU) for 40 years. I also taught Art Appreciation and Computer Design (Adobe Creative Suite) at IU. I received my bachelor’s degree from California State University Long Beach. Worked on Master’s degrees in art at both CSULB and IU. I have taken workshops at TEAA where I enjoyed not only the workshop but the camaraderie of TEAA members.
