Stay Creative at Home with Virtual Courses

“Thank you for continuing to offer courses virtually throughout the pandemic. This has given me something positive to focus on and look forward to during a very difficult time.” –Bemis School of Art Student “Since I started this course with Ms. Kim, it has been extremely helpful to me in selecting the right colors and technique to painting. I always loved to paint but I was not motivated to do so until I learned about this course with Ms. Kim. I am very grateful that this virtual program is available to military personnel and spouses. It was a tremendous experience.” –Bemis School of Art Student
