Come explore the wonderful world of painting and drawing! In this special Summer-themed studio class students ages 11-15 learn classic techniques for realism while having fun developing new skills and expressing their creative imagination. Previous drawing experience is recommended prior to taking this class. New students are encouraged to join this course at any time, while returning students will continue to build skills and explore techniques as they progress. We will explore the foundations of art (such as line, value, shape, form, color theory) while drawing from life, photographs, and their artistic imagination. The classes are project based and will encompass drawing and painting exercises, as well as finished artworks, and a bit of art history. Students will receive individual attention in a relaxed environment that encourages creativity and experimentation. All materials and supplies are included.
