Meets on Thursdays| June 26 - July 31| 6:00 to 8:00 pm

Join Heather Bennett at the JSAC for the opportunity to learn the true meaning of collage!  What most people think of as a collage is actually more of a vision board: cutting out images of things we want or like and putting them all together.  However, a true collage is the act of taking images of existing elements or objects and creating new elements or objects from those images.  We'll explore color, composition, perspective, and Surrealism.  

Supply List: Images - old magazines, books, photographs, calenders, or quality printed images from the internet.  Mod Podge (matte, unless you want your collages glossy)Glue brushesSubstrate or material to adhere images: canvas board, canvas paper, wood board, or found/garage sale materials such as mirrors, existing glass frames, or signs (at least 8x10 or larger.)

Meets Tuesdays | July 8 - August 12 | 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

We are very excited to have local artist, MaryAnn Goodwin teaching watercolor at the Jersey Shore Arts Center!

Reserve your spot in this fun, relaxing and informative class.  MaryAnne will be teaching old and new watercolor techniques along with some color theory.  This is the perfect atmosphere for beginners and for those intermediate watercolorists that want to continue and build on their watercolor experience and knowledge.

If not, don’t stress I will have paint to share. Palette: It should be around 8x10 in size and have wells for paint and a mixing space. Brushes: They should only be watercolor brushes not acrylic or oil. Again, you may be able to find a starter set that has assorted sizes and shapes. If not a round brush size 10 ,4, 2, flat brush 6, and a liner which is a thin brush for details. A backing board: It can be HEAVY corrugated cardboard (Please not lightweight) or a rigid plastic board.
