VGCC Schedules Art Class At Warren County Campus

A class for people who want to learn art from the beginning and others who wish to expand their knowledge in new areas will be taught at Vance-Granville Community College’s Warren County Campus, beginning April 27.

Classes will be held at the campus on Ridgeway Street in Warrenton for 10 weeks from April 27 through June 29, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Dorothy “Dot” Overby, who has studied with many of the nation’s top painters and who is a member of the Teachers and Educators of Art Materials, will teach the class. She is qualified to teach in all media, including pastels, oils, acrylics, color pencil and the “wet-on-wet” technique. She teaches landscape and seascape painting, portraits, pet portraits and other forms of expression.

“Everyone can paint, and each person has his or her own style,” Overby said. “I try to help them bring out that style.”

Cost of the art classes is $37.50. For more information or to pre-register for the class, call Donna Dodson at the VGCC Continuing Education office at 738-3316.
