eARTh studio provides group and individual "hands-on" drawing and painting instruction for the beginner, intermediate and advanced fine art enthusiasts, including people of all ages and experience.
At eARTh, we focus on figurative picture-making from a technical, perceptual and theoretical basis while embracing creativity. The art lessons will commence with perceptual foundation and human figure drawing as well as imaginative and conceptual drawing. Painting classes in water-based media are also offered.
eARTh commences in Guelph, Ontario, Canada in January 2015 at 199 Victoria Road South, building H. It is run by professional artist and professor Jordan Massengale. He is a Guelph native who has taught post-secondary art studio and lecture classes at Broward College, Miami-Dade College, the Art Institute of Miami, Florida International University, and the University of Miami for over fifteen years.
"My philosophical approach is based upon providing instruction geared towards self-actualization, personal fulfillment and expression. Through lectures and demonstrations, you will be provided with an extensive vocabulary of techniques that allow you to make or create the artwork that you want to make. I have many years of experience teaching students who have various levels of previous art experience. I invite you to attend the first free session - come, learn and enjoy yourself."
