Explore Endangered Species through Painting and Sculpture Classes at the J. Bryan Floyd Community Center

Persons 10 years of age and older are invited to participate in painting and sculpting Endangered Species Art Classes at the J. Bryan Floyd Community Center, 1030 Possum Trot Road, North Myrtle Beach. No painting or sculpting experience is necessary.

Classes with instructor Stephanie Sellers will occur Thursdays from June 2 through August 18. Morning classes will focus on painting endangered species on 16” x 20” stretched canvases using acrylic paints. Afternoon classes will focus on sculpture classes using Air Dry Clay (a safe, nontoxic medium) to create 8” to 12” figures of endangered species. Students will leave each class with their own unique, completed works of art.

Participants will also learn interesting facts about the different endangered species they work on. For example, one can explore the majesty of the Humpback Whale surfacing along our coast via an acrylic paint class in the morning, then use the afternoon class to explore the Humpback Whale in true form in a clay sculpting class using Air Dry Clay.
