Both are full of amateur, intermediate, and advanced classes in painting, drawing, printmaking, oil pastels, conte crayon, and more. She also offers short projects for kids and groups and even has bits on artful cooking, gardening, finding the artist within, and other subjects.After graduating from MCAD with a BFA in Painting, then director Arnold Herstand enabled several students, including DeWitt, to enter the MFA program at Pratt Institute on a full tuition grant. DeWitt recalls this experience:"The graduate program, at that time, has been installed in an old school building called Adephi. The desks were very small and the drinking fountains were very low. Doing assemblage, I was amazed to discover that had to borrow power tools from the maintenance engineers to complete my pieces. The shop at MSA had Mr. Mousseau and every available tool plus guidance. New York changed my life. At age 80, I remain grateful for having been granted that experience. MCAD LIVE LONG AND PROSPER."DeWitt is currently working on her DOMESTICS series of colored pencil drawings.
