The
Art Clinic, located at 1576 Copenhagen Drive in Solvang, asks pressing
questions, such as: Are you suffering from chronic creative anemia? Having an
Art Attack?
Carol
Kemp and business partner Sid McCutcheon, help remedy such problems with a
variety of classes and workshops for all ages and artistic levels.
The
Art Clinic, once Carol and Sid’s personal studio, opened its doors to the
public almost a year ago and has since been hosting classes ranging from
fundamentals to mixed media to jewelry making.
Carol
recently has reached out to the community’s younger artists with Tuesday
after-school classes.
“Today
we’re learning about observational art,” Kemp said.
“I
talked a little about dimensions and cave paintings, then
pulled out the animals and now we’re drawing,” she said.
Around
the room, artists aged 6 to 14 rendered various miniature animal models on
special paper with charcoal-like colored crayons. Moms, such as Pamela Brown,
joined in the fun.
“It’s
nice to do something with our hands without being the ones in charge,” she
said.
Across
the room, Kaela Gaylord, 8, commented, “Its fun to use many different ways to build a picture.”
