Kansas City Art Classes Taught by Lacey Lewis Greetings! I am Lacey Lewis, a local artist specializing in realistic representation and the human form. My work is done mainly in oil, graphite, and charcoal. I have been teaching kids, teens, and adults for more than 5 years. The above images are examples of my work; You can see more of my art at Lacey-Lewis.com, but please be advised that my work is primarily figurative and may not be suitable for all audiences. All classes will take place at Red Door Studios (click for map) 738 Armstrong, Suite 200 in Kansas City, Kansas. Class fees include all materials, and class size is limited to 6-8 participants, so please sign up early! All participants must register and pay in full at least 10 days in advance of the first class. Payment can be made via PayPal, in person, or by mailing a check. Please contact me for a mailing address if you prefer to mail in your payment, as I do not receive mail at the studio. If classes fill up, a waiting list will be made and a new class may be listed. There is some flexibility regarding the age ranges for these classes, and I will take maturity, previous experience, etc., into consideration on a case-by-case basis. Please feel free to contact me with any questions by calling 913-909-5408 or email Lacey@Lacey-Lewis.com. Summer

| Perspective
Intensive Monday through Friday 1-3pm 6/7 – 6/11 This class will cover 1, 2, 3, and multiple-point perspective! This is a subject that is challenging to many, but will be presented in a logical, step-by-step manner that is easy to understand. We will create images from our imagination using perspective, but will also see how it is visible in the world around us. |
