Spring Cleaning...

There are many changes happening in the COLORS studio.
Over the past year, the program has accepted many new instructors who have helped give a fresh face to and new talents to the program. COLORS has also had a new director, Angie Shuman. She has brought a lot of good change to the studio and the COLORS program and helped keep the program going strong.
We are also working on changing the organization status of the studio! So much of our materials have been donated by very generous people, but unfortunately the filing system for these items has been less than ideal. Angie and I have worked hard to clean out many of the cabinets and one of the storage closets. The large storage closet is going to be tackled this week in my 'Spring Cleaning' effort. (before and after pictures to come). Hopefully we can find some neat things to make great projects with!

Spring Break!

This week is spring break for public schools and myself and the other instructors are excited for a busy week! We are hoping that many students will come to COLORS for a fun break from school.

We have many new lessons planned, some of which include going outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. The students will take turns going outside in small groups to the courtyard and practicing our life drawing skills! We are hoping that the students will enjoy this much needed time outside of the confined concrete walls of a classroom.

We are also excited to finish the window art that can be seen from the street. It will read "COLORS is Hatching into Spring," which was thought of by a student. We have cut out the letters and the students will draw floral designs on them, as well as draw/paint cracked eggs with flowers and animals poping out of them. This is a great opportunity to show off the creativity of our students!

Preparing for Upcoming Art Exhibitions!

There are many art exhibitions coming up for the COLORS students to be a part of! There is our annual show the last week in April at HUB BUB, as well as smaller shows at Spartanburg Regional Hospital and the Housing Department downtown. All students have been encouraged to create great work and prepare for the upcoming shows! They are so excited to show off their hard work!
