The Art Museum and the Arts Council of Princeton have partnered to provide a series of drawing and painting classes taught by artist-instructor Barbara DiLorenzo. Participants can join live from their home computers, tablets, or phones. With an emphasis on a different medium per series, each week’s lesson is inspired by an artwork in the Museum’s collections.

SPRING 2024
This spring, my course offerings through the Arts Council of Princeton consist of two back-to-back six-week sessions. Each class's material will be new and not dependent on previous class instruction. Artists of all abilities are welcomed in my classes. I aim to meet artists where they are and encourage their next step. My classes include artists in various places of their artistic journey. In sensitivity to the expense of art materials, artists are encouraged to bring what they have to the first class, where we can discuss materials further.
Click on the course code to be directed to the specific class page on the Arts Council of Princeton website. Or, if there is a glitch with the link, you can use this general education link. Once on the education page, look for my name in the dropdown menu, and my course offerings will pop up.
