Location: Cottonwood Center for the Arts Hosted by: River Deep Foundation Participating Groups: Operation TBI Freedom Art Class - Book Folding What a great night with a group of veterans and their families learning about book folding. This class was very interesting. Our instructor, Bonnie Nelson, taught us different ways and techniques to create amazing book folding designs. One interesting fact we learned is that book folding, until the middle of the 19th century, was a trade done by hand. We had a good time and everyone was able to take a book design home.

Location: Art Students League of Denver Hosted by: River Deep Foundation Participating Groups: Craig Hospital, VA Abstract Acrylics Artist Homare Ikeda is our instructor for tonight’s class. We are happy to have some clients here that have attended several of the other art classes we organize, as they vary in subject matter from month to month. First, the easels, paints, and necessary tools are distributed to the students. Homare demonstrates different techniques as he paints his own work of art and he guides the class to use their imagination as they create their paintings. Each person has a chance to show their work to the class and they have a discussion to offer helpful hints for future works. It’s been such a fun night. Thank you to Homare and all the staff at the Art Student League of Denver for making this ongoing program possible. Date: February 7, 2022
