Franklin Art Center

Downtown Franklin at 5 Main Street. The center has morning, afternoon, evening and weekend classes for 4 year olds to adults in a wide variety of media. Our weekly sessions provide our 4-5 year olds with hands-on activities, stories, and unique lessons for artistic explorations. The curriculum for our classes are based on the Massachusetts Visual Arts Frameworks.

Beginner and advanced private or group lessons for adults focus on the individual needs of the student. Some of the topics we might cover are:

- drawings to investigate compositional possibilities.
- blocked-out charcoal/pencil/oil sketches to arrange tonal values.
- oil sketches to experiment with various color schemes and harmonies.
- fundamentals of painting
- preparing canvas and paint for the anticipated tasks.
- applying paint to canvas, either incorporating the results in direct painting.

You are also invited to our gallery. The gallery will rotate work from local artists and feature them on the site and in our classes.
