About
Moving Arden Philosophy
Moving Arden offers a space for process and discovery, where artists of all ages and levels develop their individual visions and art practices. In intimate studio classes, artists make discoveries through experimenting with different materials and mediums–including watercolor, acrylic, ink, oil paint, gouache, cyanotype, and 2-D animation. Through fun, mini-lessons, participants learn fundamental skills and apply them right away in their own drawings, paintings, and mixed-media projects. Taking inspiration from visual art, film, architecture, and photography, participants create their own artistic languages.
