Acrylic Painting with Bruce Marion – for Rising 3rd – 5th Graders

July 1, 2021 by Melissa Mason Leave a Comment

Colorful Cat Painting

Paint this colorful, fun cat with personality with award-winning artist and teacher Bruce Marion.

You will:

* Learn to draw your cat using the grid method

* Learn how to use a plastic palette knife to create texture and fluffy fur

* Learn how to use bright colors to bring out your kitty’s big personality!

Bruce’s class will be fast-paced and fun!!! This class is for rising 3rd – 5th graders.  

All painting materials and canvases will be supplied. Just bring an apron or wear clothes that you don’t mind getting paint on.


What students are saying:

“Thank you so much for the wonderful art experience! I have taken several workshops during my art journey of the last 20 years, but never have a been a part of one quite like yours! Your talents, your organization, your generosity of ideas, your enthusiasm and kindness, have left me incredibly inspired. I feel like my journey is taking a very different and positive path because of you.”- Linda

About Bruce:

Classically trained, Marion received his BFA in 1978 from the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, where he studied with world-renowned artist Pat Nagel, and Lorser Feitelson, the father of Post-Surrealism. He taught at the Otis Parsons Institute of Art in Los Angeles, before moving to Arizona in 2000. His passion to keep art alive in the next generation has led to several grants to implement month-long art programs for Arizona elementary schools. In 2015, he led a two week art workshop tour of Greece, followed by another workshop tour of Italy in 2016. He was awarded a major public commission for Sam Houston State University; the ten large works now reside in the new Social Sciences and Humanities building at the Texas college. Marion’s art is represented in nine galleries across the United States and through his online program at www.BruceOnArt.com, he teaches art students across the US, Canada, and England how to improve their art while having an incredible amount of fun along the way!

Marion lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife, Lee, a highly accomplished glass artist (leewrightglassworks.com) as well as his dog and two cats.
