The Renaissance Center

Community Art Classes

Studio Courses are offered Monday through Saturday in a wide array of subject areas. These non-credit courses cater to everyone from the novice to the experienced artist. The Renaissance Center Visual Arts Department uses the Discipline-Based Art Education philosophy of teaching. This means students study art from the four disciplines: Production, Art History, Criticism, and Aesthetics in each class.

An IPIX image is a 360º x 360º view. In other words, you can look up, down, and all the way around you as you view the image in the IPIX viewer. If you’ve never seen an IPIX image before, you probably will need to download the IPIX viewer. Two versions are available of the image. The low resolution version is only about 65KB, so it should download in less than 40 seconds over a 28.8 modem. The high resolution version is about 185KB, so it should download in less than two minutes over a 28.8 modem. It takes longer, but the image is more clear. If you need to download the IPIX viewer, hop on over to www.ipix.com/photo_support/download/plugin.shtml.
