Art After Hours at 92Y

An evening at home is a great way to spend quality alone time, but why not shake things up on your next “me” night by taking an art class? From basic collage art and mixed media to advanced pottery, 92Y offers evening classes for just about everything to satisfy your “after hours” creative impulses. Their classes run a little high in price, but they're well worth the cost to walk away with new skills and artistic inspiration.

Oil Painting for Absolute Beginners 
With an emphasis on the starting techniques of palette creation and color mixing, this basic class also teaches both still life and figure painting in a nurturing environment. 92Y recommends some experience with basic drawing, but it's not mandatory.

Intro to Jewelry – Earrings / Basic 
Arguably one of the most useful classes available to those who'd like to make a living through their art, Intro to Jewelry teaches its participants to create earrings using sterling silver and other metals.

Pen, Ink and Beyond 
Examining the methods of Leonardo DaVinci, Raymond Pettibon and more, this class is an excellent primer for both novice and experienced artists. By developing a series of drawings in a variety of styles, students can learn to express themselves like the masters.
