Location: Art Building 108

We have been teaching this creativity/art class for twelve years and it has gone through many changes to keep it fresh and creative for our students whether they are new or have been to our class before. Our primary mission is to create a welcoming, supportive environment where people will have time to explore a variety of art media and techniques, and connect with others.

We will not be teaching full blown lessons each week as we have in the past. It will be more like an open studio format with pop up lessons for groups according to interest and led by instructors and students.

Every one will fit in whether you have done art before or you are new to it and just want a safe space to explore.

There will be a fee for materials.

If the class fills before you have a chance to register, call the office (207 621-3551) to be added to a wait list.

Exploring Art in a Supportive Open Studio

Carole Baldwin chairs the Curriculum Committee and is past chair of the UMASC Board. She was a health educator and physical education teacher in high school and then a counselor in middle school. As an educator and counselor in a school system she enjoyed working with students , parents and teachers. Carole was instrumental with others in starting a Civil Rights team at the middle school and a Crisis Response team for the district. Here at Senior College she developed and taught a balance class , a pickle ball class and did a lecture with photos of her many birding adventures with her sister in law. Now she is enjoying teaching the mixed media classes with Elizabeth where they both marvel at the creative group of explorers that play and work with mixed media art supplies.

Elizabeth Luckraft graduated from the University of Maine with a degree in elementary education and has a master’s in education and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling. She was a member of the faculty at the University of Maine at Farmington for 25 years and was previously a classroom teacher at a variety of grade levels. Her work as a clinical counselor, a polarity therapist, and a teacher have all fed her passion for seeing the best in people and supporting them in their personal growth and exploration. Elizabeth loves being creative and especially enjoys working in acrylic mixed media, playing guitar, and gardening.  She is grateful to be a teacher at Senior College within a community of such warm and creative artistic explorers!
