Also, if you’re a beginner and need basic drawing and composition instruction before you begin painting, you can find that in the classes taught at the campus on N.C. 56 between Butner and Creedmoor.

Chad Hughes of Creedmoor has been teaching art classes at South Campus for more than a dozen years. He has Tuesday morning and Monday evening classes, and there are openings in both sessions that will begin in early September. The Monday classes run from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. and will begin Sept. 8 and conclude Dec. 1. Tuesday morning classes are from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and will run from Sept. 9 to Dec. 2.

Hughes has a bachelor of arts from East Carolina University and a master’s in painting and drawing from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He has taught at the Durham Arts Council since 1981, and he is in his third year of teaching art at North Carolina Central University.

“I work with each person in the class individually, and I encourage them to follow their own areas of interest, whether they are landscapes, still life or others,” he said.
