Adult Students<br> $160<br> Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 – 11<br> January 11, 13, 18, 20, 25, 27 and February 1 &amp; 3, 2022<br><br> In this course we will learn the basics of oil painting. We will discuss composition, value, how to paint what we see and color theory throughout the course. I want my students to be able to learn important oil painting skills while having the chance to be creative. I believe art isn’t only about becoming technically skillful but more importantly a visual expression of the self. This is a beginner course, so we are here to learn together and have fun!<br><br> In compliance with Washington State mandates, the Spokane Art School requires all students, even if vaccinated, to wear a mask in class.

A celebration of beauty, this exhibition brings more than 60 objects, spanning 30 years of Louis Comfort Tiffany's career. He was one of the most innovative American artists of the 19th century for the way he elevated everyday objects--furniture, vases, lamps--into works of art. This exhibition focuses on Tiffany's magnificent stained glass windows, floral vases, lamps and decorative accessories from Chicago's distinguished Richard H. Driehaus Collection. Tiffany's technical brilliance in a wide variety of media enabled him to convey his awe of the natural world through a wide range of objects. His work was popular in his lifetime, and continues to be highly sought after today due to its unparalleled quality and beauty.

Adam Blalock starts the New Year at the Liberty Gallery with a solo show of his work. Adam was born in Spokane and grew up in an old farmhouse along Latah Creek ~ in 2004, Adam was voted "most artistic" in high school but chose to pursue horticulture science instead. After more than 10 years of working in the industry and scientific study, Adam finally realized that creating art was indeed his true passion. He uses both contemporary and traditional forms of painting to convey emotion and to express the sensation of nature. Adam's work will be on view at the Liberty Gallery in the Historic Liberty Building, from January 2nd through the 30th.
