This summer is about "Explorations in Your practice of Art"!
For new students I offers a palette of watercolors from the

certain materials for sale as a group purchase to lower costs and
help you to "try before you buy" (optional).

No. 3 - What Makes Art Valuable?  
A BBC Documentary


To create art is nothing more than taking an object/subject idea, feeling and emotion into something simple or complex. Along with basic tools, surface materials, art mediums and techniques, the artist expresses that creation. A work of art can have the ability to enrich our lives with purpose and meaning. The historical provenance of the artist and the rarity behind the art are driving forces to its value. Join us for this inside look at high-end auctioned art and why and how this art can be so valuable.
