welcome to mag’s art schoolImagine what will happen if you start the new year creatively! In our historic art museum

filled with 5,000 years of world art, we’re convinced there is at least one piece of art that will

resonate with you—and a number of ways of making art that will work for you. We have seen

our classes build creative habits, grow design and conceptual skills, and make people happily

content spinning wheels, weaving fibers, making friends and making art.

make your own fine jewelryOur students often tell us they didn’t think they could make beautiful, wearable jewelry—but then they master the use of saws, solder and sandpaper.

To sample what is possible, try one of our Quick Jewelry series. Often, though, students tell us that one or two classes are not enough!

The best choice, if you have little or no experience, is Beginning Jewelry. Short classes in specialized techniques (such as soldering) can help you add to your “toolbox” and make the magical things you want to make.

Our studio is full of fine craftsmanship and good cheer!

QUICK JEWELRY SERIESShort courses! Each of the classes in this series is perfect for an absolute beginner. We carefully limit material costs, and all materials can be purchased in the Workshop office directly next to the studio. Class sizes are limited.

Fee for each two-session class: $66 (members $59)

art appreciationRENAISSANCE ART53919 Four Saturdays, 1–2:30 pm, January 17–February 7 [taught by Mary Del Mastro]

This class is an introduction to art of the Italian and Northern

European Renaissance. We consider the many factors that led to revolutionary changes in artistic style and

subjects in the 15th and 16th centuries: the rise of Humanism,

private patronage, the invention of oil paints, discovery of mathematical perspective, and care-ful study of human anatomy. We will explore masterpieces of well known Renaissance artists (Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, Botticelli, van Eyck, Dürer) as well as beautiful examples in the gallery.

This informative and engag-ing art history course covers early American artists such as Ammi Phillips, Rubens and Raphael Peale, Gilbert Stuart, and John Trumbull. We will consider how these artists approached painting people, America’s revolutionary

heroes and battles, the formation of a new nation, and the ever-expanding landscape.

The class will include in-Gallery discussion and class-room lectures with thorough bibliographies. Great for anyone curious about American art, history and culture in the colonial and new nation eras.
