Adult Art Lab

Cellphone Photography Fundamentals and Practice

Rediscover your creativity and build real art skills in a relaxed, supportive studio setting. Explore new materials each month and grow as an artist at your own pace.

Learn about composition, lighting, perspective, and much more that will help you take better photos using your phone. Students will also be introduced to some basic editing features that is available for free on their phones. Expect to spend some of the class time walking outside on uneven terrain. We will cover different subjects during the five weeks including taking better pictures of people and animals, landscapes and objects. 

The Adult Art Lab is a welcoming class for adults who want to learn, practice, and grow as artists—whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or returning after years away.

Each month we focus on the core ideas that make art work—like color, composition, value, and expression—while experimenting with different materials such as acrylics, oils, watercolor, pastel, charcoal, mixed media, found objects, and more. You’ll learn through guided lessons, demos, and plenty of hands-on practice.

This class is about progress, not perfection. You’ll get personal feedback and gentle pushes when you need them, with time to share, reflect, and learn from each other along the way. We’ll also talk about how to get your work exhibition ready if you want to take that next step.

All materials are provided. Open to adults 18 and older. Please contact the library if you can’t attend the first class, as registration covers the full month of sessions.
