Art class.

With his old Nazareth College bag on his back and a plastic toolbox full of new paints and brushes in hand, Ben attended a Neighbourhood House art class today. At home, in the kitchen, he sometimes draws detailed pencil sketches of nearby objects. This class teaches oil painting so the level of detail will be different however the ability to sketch will be a great advantage. Ben, being the only beginner, is learning to mix colours while other class members work on their projects including a portrait of a Golden Retriever and a painting of Napoleon on his horse. He enjoyed the first class and claims to have lowered the average age of the group by approximately twenty years.
