Demonstrations and classes will be led by some of the Guild’s talented artists, who will share with children that art is joyful, fun, and super cool.
After each discussion, the children will have an opportunity to make their own paintings.
Classes and supplies are free of charge, a service the Guild of Boston Artists provides with the goal of inspiring the next generation of artists.

How Does an Artist Begin?

We will discuss the role light and shade plays in the mood and expressiveness of the paintings in the gallery.
What Is So Special About Color?

We will examine the different ways that painters use color and how that influences the final outcome.
