Art center instructors plan exhibit

Instructors of art classes at the Potocki Center will exhibit their work at the Mission Viejo Library from March 16 through April 5. One of the instructors said the exhibit might include the work of students as well. A reception is planned, with date and other details to be announced.

As mentioned in the Dec. 23 Buzz, a group of artists last year approached the city to turn the unused facility into an arts center. The group reports ongoing success of the program, as well as providing enjoyment for those enrolled.

One of the classes, Beginning Watercolor, is in its third six-week session. The instructor said, “The class includes a range of students, including beginners. They were feeling the frustration of wanting to paint but lacking skill at drawing. To answer their need, I added a drawing class that meets for an hour immediately before the painting class.” A drawing class will be included in future offerings.
