Come down and meet with other like-minded artists that use art journals and sketchbooks as creative tools to grow as an artist, express themselves creatively or just find enjoyment in sketching and journaling. This meet up is for ALL levels - curious, have not started your art journal yet or well on your way filling your 20th. The Nevada Fine Arts Classroom has tables, chairs, sink, video projector and space to meet in. NFA will provide some sample products to experiment with.

Business of Art TalkWhen: 1st Friday of every Month from 4pm to 5:45pmFee: FREE! Come and join us for the Business of Art Get-Together. Many artists, amateur to profession, have a lot of questions about how the business of art works. NFA figured that the best way to approach this, would be to get a bunch of serious artists in the room and let them interact, ask questions, and learn from each other. Bring your questions and be ready to share your successes and failures at making art, selling art and being an artist. The event starts at 4pm with a short round of announcements - let us know what is going on out there. Anyone who has an announcement or knows of information that could benefit the group can tell everyone. At 4:15 we have a talk. |
Using a Sketchbook to Relax, Have Fun and Grow CreativelyDate/Time: Saturday March 23rd 1 - 4pm OR Sunday April 7th 1 - 4pm Fee: $45 Ages: 14 and older Register with teacher at mark@hammondesign.com Class Description: This class is designed for creative people of all levels and interests – no previous experience is necessary. I will introduce you to a variety of ways to use a sketchbook to grow. This creative tool is a great way to improve your art skills, master new art supplies, develop concepts, boost creativity, document life events, explore and just relax; and all of this will be fun. This hands-on class will look at a range of options to help determine which sketchbooks works best for your style or goals. We will explore different uses and goals for your sketchbooks – working sketchbook, travel journals, urban sketching, art journaling, nature journaling, junk art journals, themed journals, challenges and more. Then we will explore a wide range of techniques and art supplies that you can use within your journal. We will have discussions about art materials, techniques, and several sample projects for you to play with to get started.
