Mixed Media & Acrylic Painting Classes for Seniors
If you are an Activities Director/Assistant looking to bring art to your community, I would love to hear from you. The Senior classes listed below are designed to accomodate Senior Living communities. There are three class options to choose from, including a shorter 2 hour Paint and Sip style classes to a longer 9 week course built on the Foundations of Creative Aging and its benefits. All options take place at your location.
Class Options for Seniors
Senior Paint and Sip Style Class
COST: $150 for up to 12 participants or $15 per participant with minimum 10 participants
(includes supplies)
Class Length: 2 Hours
Class Level: Any Experience Level
This class is a fun and relaxed painting experience where participants can create their own masterpiece while sipping their favorite drink. The class is open to all skill levels, from beginners to experienced artists. During the class, participants will follow step-by-step instructions to create a painting, while also enjoying a fun and social atmosphere.
Senior Group Acrylic Painting Lesson
COST: $200 for up to 12 participants
Class Length: 3 Hours
Class Level: Beginner to Intermediate
This class teaches the basics of acrylic painting. You’ll learn about color harmony, how to mix colors, composition and the steps to work through your first acrylic painting. By the end of the class you’ll have enough knowledge to continue painting on your own and improve your skills.
Senior Mixed Media Group Course – Following the Foundations of Creative Aging
Cost: $750 (includes supplies)
Class Length: 9 weeks – 1.5 hours per week
This is a 9 week course that will take place in your senior community and will build upon the skills developed each week, ending with an art exhibition within your community.
It has been proven that sequential learning in senior environments reduces depression, doctor visits, the need for medication and builds confidence and stronger friendships among the community.

Meet Jana Soiseth, Your Instructor
“The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.” – Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
Hello! I’m excited to meet you! I’m a clasically trained artist working in mixed media and encaustic art. After art school, I worked for a graphic design agency and from there transitioned into owning my own agency. For 25 years, I have been creating art whether on screen for clients or in my studio for collectors. I love all styles of art, but I adore encaustic due to it’s beauty and versitlity. I am passionate about my art and believe that learning never stops. There is always something new to learn, whether it’s a new technique or working with a new product. Come along with me and I will share with you the wonder of encaustic.
