Cape Cod Museum of Art (6) Tuesdays, October 21 – December 2, 2025 10:00 am – 12:30 pm. Ed Chesnovitch concentrates on the importance of Design, Value, Color, and Rhythm to make students’ art stronger with their personal voice. A good painting always needs a few things from the painter: Be Passionate, Be Fearless, and Trust the Process! Being open to trying new techniques and taking risks, keeps things fresh and exciting. In this class, we’ll concentrate on the importance of Design, Value, Color, and Rhythm to make your art stronger with your personal voice! Learn to simplify and get the bones of your painting down first, without wasting time in the beginning with unnecessary details… “ya don’t put up the curtains till the house is built”! Discover the importance of building up a surface history in your paintings, how “taking off” is just as important as “putting on”, as well as the magnificence of mark-making. Weekly exercises will definitely get you out of your comfort zone and give you permission to play, explore, and throw the concept of perfection out the back door! Get ready to paint and have some fun, because you never know when the next accidental masterpiece comes to fruition. This is not a beginner’s class and is not formatted for watercolors. Bring the supplies you want to work with for the first class and we’ll take it from there.

Ongoing Thursdays 11:30am-12:30pmTuesdays 6:00pm-7:00pm $15 Drumming Through Trauma with Sam Holmstock (formerly of ENTRAIN) explores drumming, rhythm, and percussion in a fun environment accessible to all, including anyone with PTSD, Brain Injury, the elderly, and those living with mental illness or neurological conditions. It is very effective to reduce stress, improve mind-body connection, and increase mindfulness. You do NOT have to be suffering with trauma to join this class. Although some drum technique is taught, the focus is on the development of communication and relaxation. We start with simple easy-to-play rhythms, one rhythm at a time until we reach the point where we can have half the group play one rhythm with another rhythm played on top of the first one to create a web of interlocking rhythms. It’s an opportunity to get to know some easy basic rhythms and just enjoy the time. Participants of all ages describe feeling “calm and centered” after drumming. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? Basically it’s a circle of people, socially distanced, all with drums, outside if the weather is fine, inside the Art Studio otherwise. Spaces are limited and participants must register. Please bring your own drum and masks are required. Register at: https://cotuit.org/classes/drumming-through-trauma
