Os is a fun style of painting. With this project we will be using a bright color palette. You will learn what the characteristics are that define the Os style and what makes it unique. We will discuss the elements of design that are used in Os. The project is an Os style tray, and the woodenware is also characteristic of that area. The instructor will have other designs available or gladly help you make a design of your own. She will encourage students to try designing, which helps to understand the style better. Her biggest goal is to help you understand the Os style!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEnrollment Deadline\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis course is no longer open for registration.
