Merritt Art





Art Instruction at Merritt is so much more than I had hoped for when I registered for life drawing and watercolor. The two instructors I have been fortunate to work with since the beginning of the Spring 2015 Semester are not only fine professional artists, they are masters of engagement and compassion for the student artists.

My previous art experience gives me a platform to build from. These classes give me an opportunity to play, and explore materials, and approaches to seeing and creating, with more fluidity. The lessons continually coax students into a different challenge. Both teachers make me want to explore the materials, methods, color and form, breathing, and exhibiting, beyond what I anticipated. 

This is community college doing it not only right but with panache. A nurturing and creative environment to explore and pursue possibilities.
