Art can express a variety of human feelings, from joy at the birth of a child to confusion at the birth of a man-child. Eloquently articulate your emotions with today's Groupon: for $20, you get a painting class at daVino and daVinci in Johnson City (a $45 value). Instructors guide beginner brush-wielders through creatively calculated strokes, ensuring each student leaves class with a 16"x20" acrylic new best friend. Students sign up for three-hour classes based on which painting they would like to will into existence, with possibilities including the artful artichoke and starry night. In addition to all materials, bottle openers and glasses are provided for students who bring beverages and snacks to lubricate the pistons of creative genius. Every newly discovered artist takes home his or her own 16"x20" acrylic painting to place atop a mantle or back up claims of Pictionary prowess.

Classes are for those age 14 and up.
