Compass, School Age Child Care (prek-5 grade)
There are many benefits to drawing or painting on location. As a sketcher or painter or new to either art form you will find that you learn to see, increase your skills, connect with the community, and find a feeling of calm as you engage in your creative process. This class is a time for you. Each week we will visit different locations in Alexandria for you to draw or paint the places you might drive by without noticing. We will begin our first class at the Legacy Museum Gardens, and not in necessarily this order visit the Knute Nelson Home, Carlos Creek Winery, Court House or TBD suggestions from the class.
The supply list will be provided in the confirmation email you receive after registration.

Now retired from teaching art (K-12) and working at the Perpich Center for Arts Education doing professional development in the arts for classroom teachers throughout Minnesota, there is a lot more time for personal artwork and extended time in the area. In 2015, Kathy opened Artscape Studio for working and selling her art work. Kathy has exhibited in a number of places in the Twin Cities, participates in art crawls and studio openings in the Alexandria area. She has an art degree from St. Cloud State University, MAEd from Hamline University and has continued art studies through Twin City arts centers, artist-teachers, and mentors. Her areas of interest are watercolor, book arts, collage, and mixed media.
