Painting classes offered at senior center

Saturday, January 22, 2011

The Austintown Senior Center at 100 Westchester Dr. will offer painting classes for adults 60 and over beginning Jan. 31 at 9:30 a.m.

The first class will be a free introduction provided by instructor Susan Jacobs. Students will learn the secret that “what is seen first is painted last” and complete their paintings over three follow-up sessions.

The initial free class will be followed by three classes on Feb. 7, 14 and 28 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.

The three classes will cost $15. Students must bring a canvass 11-by-14 inches or larger and can bring their own acrylics. Otherwise, basic acrylics and brushes will be provided.

Jacobs is an artist and art teacher with a bachelor’s degree in art education and master’s degree in secondary art from Youngstown State University. She is currently an adjunct professor at Ashland University.
