These art exploration classes help kids explore the tools artists use to build works of art from line to texture and everything in between. In each session, students are introduced to one or two building blocks and a different technique inspired by the current exhibit(s) on display. Students will then create their own art using the tools they learned.

Medusa’s Garden, watercolor on paper by Gary Brewer, 2013. Gift of the Artist.
GROWING THE COLLECTION
Since acquiring California Art to build a permanent Collection began in the 1920s with penny donations from citizens of Oxnard, donations of museum quality art from Art Collectors and Artists have been a main avenue of its growth. This summer some excellent donations have been contributed that will be highlighted over the coming weeks.
Medusa’s Garden,- donated by the artist Gary Brewer
Gary Brewer whose hyper-real coral reef imagery is on exhibit currently in Soluble Power, has generously donated an amazing take on watercolor. It is in fact the first of the series done in 2013 and was the first he created after turning back to watercolor from a long hiatus. Its title is a reference to the Classical myth of the origin of red coral which was originally found on the coast of Italy.
My paintings depict the vivid intensity of life, and say something about the unknowable through its forms, forms that have been shaped by evolution and vast epochs of time….
The enormity of this mystery of which we are a part exceeds the limits of our minds and the five senses that we have been graced with.
– Gary Brewer.
