<br />Popular Art Classes Offer Many Benefits <br />Visual, performance and textile art classes offered by Recreation Services are popular year-round and offer many <br />benefits to patrons. There is so much demand for some classes, such as oil painting, that registration is restricted. The <br />classes provide an opportunity for residents to learn a new skill or <br />improve old ones, such as drawing, woodworking or pottery. In <br />addition to classes, Recreation also offers informal opportunities for <br />artists to use studios and equipment to work on a specific project at <br />their own pace and to share common interests with others. For <br />more information, go to http://www.eugene-or.gov/recenroll. <br /> <br />Other classes give artists opportunities they might not otherwise <br />have – such as the “Plein Air at the Farm” outing that will take <br />painters to Bush’s Produce Farm on August 15. Artists will be <br />transported to the farm to spend the day painting scenes of peach <br />orchards, produce or flowers. <br /> <br />This fall, one-time, “try-for-free” classes are offered in mixed-media and drawing so an aspiring artist can try out a <br />class before committing to the registration fee. For more information, contact Diane Sconce at 541-682-6392 or <br />Diane.M.Sconce@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />July 26, 2012 <br />
