    In this four-week class, students will explore drawing what they see. One of the hardest skills for any artist is drawing what they see, not what they think they see! In each class, students will utilize different art styles, such as gesture drawing, still life drawing, and contour drawing, to develop their ability to draw accurately from life!

    Every week during this painting course, we’ll be guiding students to try different styles of painting to open up some knowledge about art history, as well as try new painting techniques. Whether your child has never painted before, or they enjoy painting often in their own time, this course is a great choice for some after school fun.

    In this class, students will learn the necessary skills to draw portraits of the people around them! Throughout the four weeks, students will learn to draw the individual components of a face and how to combine them together to create a full portrait. They will experiment with drawing themselves, a moving figure, and a still portrait.

Every day we'll create different artworks inspired by that period or the artist that lived through it!
