    Let’s explore the art of the human form together and bring your        "manga, comic book character” visions to life!

    Session Structure:

    We'll begin with basic shapes and perspectives, learning how to construct the human figure. As the course progresses, you'll tackle more dynamic and complex poses, emphasizing action and emotion.

    Tools & Materials List: please have the following supplies ready:

    ● Pencils (HB, 2B, 4B, 6B)

    ● Pens (fineliners, brush pens)

    Find out how neurographic/doodle art can motivate and benefit you to embrace your own challenges with creativity and resilience.

    Neurographic art involves drawing freeform lines (also called "neuro lines") and shapes, and then transforming those lines by rounding off corners and intersections. The process is intended to be a meditative and creative experience, potentially leading to relaxation, stress reduction, and a deeper connection with oneself.


    Jeff will share his extraordinary story of overcoming extreme adversity while turning his experiences into personal masterpieces and finding solace in the creative process itself. You’ll have an unforgettable experience that leaves a lasting impact.

    This is a summer bridge class for students who would like to work on their soft pastels skills this summer. Each student will get individual attention based on her or his subject of interest.  We will cover all related topics, such as drawing, composition, color wheel basics, mixing colors and much more as we work. Since this will be a short one-hour class, the emphasis will be on critique and instructions that would help students to work at home on their projects. This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate level students. 

    Each student will be provided with a professional pastel paper and a limited palette of hard and soft pastels during class. You are welcome to bring your own supplies that you are comfortable working with.

    The class is offered on Friday afternoon, the cost of the class includes 3 (three) 1-hour classes in July. If you miss the class, please request a make-up lesson, there will be no refunds for missed classes.  Make-up classes are usually offered on Fridays.

    Find out how neurographic/doodle art can motivate and benefit you to embrace your own challenges with creativity and resilience.

    Neurographic art involves drawing freeform lines (also called "neuro lines") and shapes, and then transforming those lines by rounding off corners and intersections. The process is intended to be a meditative and creative experience, potentially leading to relaxation, stress reduction, and a deeper connection with oneself.


    Jeff will share his extraordinary story of overcoming extreme adversity while turning his experiences into personal masterpieces and finding solace in the creative process itself. You’ll have an unforgettable experience that leaves a lasting impact.

    To learn more about Jeff and his artwork, visit: www.JeffLungArt.com

    Classes will be held on Mondays for 12 weeks starting in late June, and you are welcome to attend all or some. Please Register for each class individually.

    In this class you will learn how to paint with soft pastels without having to purchase expensive materials and supplies.  We will cover all related topics, such as drawing, composition, color wheel basics, mixing colors and much more as we work. This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate level students. We will start with simple sketches to learn how to apply pastels and progress to more complex paintings. 

    Each student will be provided with a professional pastel paper and a limited palette of hard and soft pastels during class. You are welcome to bring your own supplies that you are comfortable working with. We will work on some projects together, using the instructor’s references, and on individual projects of your choice based on your own interest in a subject matter. I will help you every step on the way. The objective for this class is that each student enjoys creativity and self-expression and develops his or her own style.  

    The class is offered on Thursday mornings, the cost of the class includes 4 (four) 2-hour classes. If you miss the class, please request a make-up lesson, there will be no refunds for missed classes.  Make-up classes are usually offered on Fridays.
