Class Description

We are all born creative! I LOVE how children create with abandon—it brings me so much joy to witness. In this class I want to give them more tools, skills, and experiences to grow their art. We will cultivate our hearts for art with step-by-step drawing lessons, by learning the foundational drawing elements, and learning art vocabulary such as shading, hue, dimension, and perspective through art projects. We will study and emulate great artists as well as illustrators from some beloved childhood books. We’ll use different mediums throughout the year—pencil, watercolors, tempera paint, acrylic paint, pastels, and clay. The class will be a good mix of drawing and art projects. Creativity will abound!
