Our Future...

Teen art classes are offered throughout the year.  

REGULAR SIX WEEK TEEN CLASSES



The focus in these classes will be on fundamental drawing and painting techniques that will enrich a teen's interpretation of the world.  They will practice working from life, from their own creative forces, and from memory.  Artistic concepts such as line, form, proportion, value, texture, color mixing and relationships will be covered. 

 Lessons will focus on the refinement of drawing skills and techniques including blending, dry brush, washes, line, value, proportion, composition, and color relationships.  Progression to oil painting.  Studies in figure drawing, portraiture, still life will be taught.

  Material from Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain will be used. It is a classic book to help students learn how to see like an artist sees which will help improve drawing ability.   There is a workbook for this book that can be purchased from a book store or online at Half.com.  This is optional, but will give more practice and a great foundation in drawing.
