Once-a-week after-school art session (Tue 3:00–4:30pm). Stained Glass Workshop for kids 3rd grade and up. Session runs September 15th – September 24th; tuition $495+.
Our art classes will feature an exciting weekly theme or topic, to stimulate your child's imagination and get the ideas flowing. This course includes everything a beginner needs to know about how to use the seven elements of art (line, shape, color, form, value, texture, and space) to develop their skills in drawing and painting. They learn how to sketch out their subject as they grasp the use of pencils, markers, and pastels. We demo color-mixing, brush applications and professional techniques + look at a variety of painting styles. For subject matter they will work with still-life objects, pictures, and their imaginations to motivate compositions. In this course, children will develop confidence and be motivated to create their own fully realized drawings and paintings not only in art class but at school and at home.
