Since you never know when you'll next appear on a syndicated episode of Win, Lose or Draw, it's important to keep your sketching skills sharp. Brush up your strokes with today's deal: for $15, you get one two-hour adult workshop at Artworks Fine Art Studio in Bethesda (a $35 value).
Learn the fundamentals of fine art while quickly becoming the sharpest, most dangerous crayon in the box. A skilled and accomplished artist leads each class, introducing prospective Leonardos to new and exciting techniques that will inspire first-timers and advanced colorfully decorated veterans. The classes focus on painting and drawing in a cozy, laid-back environment. The student-to-teacher ratio is about 7:1, ensuring personal attention and strict adherence to the golden ratio. All the necessary materials are provided, including canvases, brushes, paints, and berets. Currently, two morning and two night classes are offered, but more will be added to accommodate additional students. Check out the schedule for adult workshop dates and times.
Monkeys, toddlers, and Roombas have all had illustrious careers in painting and drawing, proving any sentient being is capable of putting picture to paper. Expand your portrait repertoire beyond "stick," or refine notebook doodles into masterpieces. Sign up with a group of friends to spend a few hours collectively converting creativity, or equip a secret weapon for an upcoming Pictionary tournament.
Groupon Says
FACT: Art Is Easy
The art world can be a confusing and pretentious place, and the so-called "gatekeepers," the tastemakers who decide what is "art" and what isn't, want you, the average person, to feel excluded from their exclusive aesthetic club.
FACT: No good art has been made since 1995. Until that fateful year, no good art had been produced after 1741, but then How to Make an American Quilt was released in theaters and its pure artistic fire could not be extinguished.
FACT: You can make art. DOUBLE FACT: It won't be any good. TRIPLE THINKING-POINT: The DOUBLE FACT was not true. Do not be so easily put off from channeling your thoughts, feelings, and boat-rental agreements into something creative.
QUESTION: Take all the art in your house and throw it in the garbage. Now replace it with some of your own.
