Heartland Community College art professor Jane Camp will instruct students on observational drawing in graphite, pen and ink and charcoal that move into abstractions of nature through collage and the various drawing media. No previous experience is necessary.

About the instructor

Jane Camp is an art educator in addition to a working and exhibiting artist. A Professor of Art at Heartland Community College since 1994, she has also taught at Tennessee State University, Illinois State University and Richland College. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Illinois Wesleyan University and Master of Science and Master of Fine Arts from Illinois State University.

Jane’s photographs, drawings and paintings have been shown in many local and national exhibitions. She successfully co-operated a photography business, Outer Glow Photography for 10 years.

Much of her drawings and paintings focus on what she calls “Random Pages”: Random bits from nature that become enlarged and abstracted to suggest something beyond their origins. She also uses a medium format Holga film camera to encapsulate an ethereal vision, which is a dominant trait in her art.

You can view Jane’s art on her website.
