Art Month

Residents gathered for the kick off class of the art workshop series by Tami Hritzay.  Tami will be teaching a series of classes each Wednesday during the month of February, Art Month!  Perhaps it is said best in the words of the teacher herself:

“Wow, where do I begin?  I love to teach art and spire others to create.  God has blessed everyone with a gift of creativity. In our first class, I introduced Egg Tempra—showcasing Andrew Weyth, one of my favorite artists.  I shared art history relating to Egg Tempra.  Then . . . onward to paint!  I always encourage my students to think independently.  I teach “technique” and encourage their own unique style to emerge.  The awesome paintings that were produced, positive comments shared and boosted morale observed were more than rewarding.” Tami Hritzay.

The Juniper family appreciates Tami and her continued involvement in our Connections Activities programs.  We look forward to next weeks lesson!  Interested in joining in on the next class?  Call 333.4400 to RSVP.  Classes are Wednesdays at 9:30 am during February.
