Here at Rio Hondo there is a large variety of art courses available for students to take, whether you are interested in majoring in art or simply interested in the subject matter.

Courses offered vary from beginning, intermediate, and advanced; as well as in both drawing and painting.

Art is one of many ways to express oneself and there is really no right or wrong way to go about it.

Aaron Smith is a student at Rio and is currently taking an intermediate painting class on campus.

Smith is currently working on a piece in the style of Paul Cezanne, a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter.

Cezanne’s style of painting varied greatly. Cezanne’s variety in the paintings he created was a result of his ability to paint in many different styles. Cezanne greatly influenced twentieth century abstract art.
