Local children will get the chance to participate in art classes to teach them how to draw winter landscapes using oil pastels and watercolors.

In the recently renovated 6th Cavalry Museum in Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., local artist Coyee Langston began teaching the first of the three Saturday morning classes last week for children ages 6 to 10, says museum Director Chris McKeever, museum director. Langston is a former art teacher in Hamilton County Schools.

“Coyee has taught art to elementary school students for more than 30 years, and she also teaches adults, so we are excited to have her teach the first classes we’re offering here at the museum,” McKeever says. “Offering art classes is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time.”

Though the first of the three classes started Saturday, there are available spaces for the two remaining classes on Saturday, Jan. 30 and Feb. 6, she says. The classes are held from 10 a.m. to noon and all art supplies will be provided. The cost is $75 total for the two remaining lessons.
