Creative Connections: Introduction to Chalk Pastel

Intro to Chalk Pastel

Join us for a fun introductory class on chalk pastels!  Explore basic color theory and utilize the color wheel while creating fantasy style landscapes and dragons. You'll learn how to blend colors and create contrast with light and dark values.  Chalk pastels are also known as “soft pastels”, and are made by combining dry pigments with binders and setting the formula into sticks.  Fun fact! Using pastels to create work is also considered a 'painting' technique.

What is Creative Connections: Family Art Night?

This year White Rabbit Galleries is pleased to host a monthly series of art classes and instruction geared towards providing arts education to our community while also arranging a time for families, friends, and neighbors to spend time together in an engaging activity.  Instruction, supplies, and refreshments are provided for this event, with opportunities to receive supplies to take home to continue creating work.  Each Creative Connections class will cover a different medium of art and technique to maximize creativity and challenge. Participants can sign up for specific classes as they become available and are not required to attend every class. This program is made possible through funding provided by the Barberton Community Foundation.

When will the Creative Connections classes be held?

Our Creative Connections series will be held on every 4th Saturday of the month from 4:30pm-7:00pm.

Who is allowed to participate in the Creative Connections classes?

Anyone!  You do not need to bring a family member or a child to attend the class.  Attend the class with a friend or by yourself.  Participants under the age of 14 must have a guardian present. These classes are recommended for children ages 7 & up and adults.
