Doug Minkler Art Classes: Drawing and Painting with Doug

Doug Minkler Art Classes 

I encourage outrageous and unusual creations. This freedom, I’ve found, provides students with a unique opportunity for invention. In the process of creating new work, we will learn perspective, composition, and color theory. We will also explore realistic and abstract representation. Often the parents want to take the class as well.

When my daughter was seven she had difficulty reading, as I did at about her age. Wanting to enhance her self esteem, I created a weekly art class in my studio for my daughter and her friends. The choice of subject matter was open, ranging from personal experience and fantasy to issues of social justice. 

Class meets on Sat and Sun. 10:30-11:45 am at my print studio -go through the gray gate and look for the Blue door in the back yard, 1715 Ward st.
