Choose Between Two Options

  • $59 for a three-hour beginners' photography class for one with a glass of wine (a $159 value)
  • $99 for a three-hour beginners' photography class for two with two glasses of wine (a $318 value)

Groups of 20–25 students swear off the automatic setting of digital SLRs as they learn to operate knobs and dials. Inside the studio, brains steep in knowledge of exposure, aperture, ISO, and shutter speed, empowering them to judge the best settings for capturing grand vistas or detailed headshots of a ladybug. Students are welcome to bring their own cameras or borrow them from the studio, and snacks and drinks brought from home refresh creative juices. A $7.50 corkage fee applies to student-brought bottles; the University Club of Palo Alto also offers an extensive wine list.

The Groupon Guide to: Color Theory

If you're a visual artist, you've probably got a box of crayons, a crayon sharpener, and a tiny ceramic cup you store the crayon shavings in so you can later melt them into a new crayon color that you call "garbage." You've also probably got a good understanding of color theory. If you're not a visual artist, here's some information that will be new to you:

  • A color wheel is a circular diagram that selects the best colors for your work of art based on which colors you land on when you're blindfolded and stabbing with a knife.

  • Staring at warm colors, such as red, dark red, and reddish black, makes your body feel like it's been covered in a wool blanket and then buried from the neck down.

  • Staring at cool colors, such as cool red, makes your body feel like it's been covered in a loose layer of gauze and left to get even cooler beneath a nice, shady tree in the middle of nowhere.

  • Complementary colors are defined as "any two colors that, when combined, produce a small egg containing the color ‘prison-shoe gray.’"

Which popular color is best known for hatching from an egg?
