The award honors Jim Skipworth, who for several years volunteered his time to teach art once a week to 5th grade classes at Combs New Heights Elementary School and Destin Elementary School. Artist Pat Regan will teach a five-day workshop in mixed media painting the week of April 2 through 6. The primary objective of this workshop will be to push creative skills to the limit. Using old paintings, drawings, gold and silver leaf, airbrush acrylics, watercolors, and other materials, artists will search for new solutions to create innovative art works. The classes will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
Early registration is recommended.
A list of suggested supplies will be provided. For more information, call Chris Mann at 664-6555 or ADSO's Art Center.
