About this event
CLASS DESCRIPTION: In this class we focus on 2D works and the foundations of art through an exploration into foundational drawing and painting. This class is suited for 4th graders and up that are looking to sharpen their classical art skills as we will make artist-inspired copies to practice and other works that reinforce our shading and basic art skills. Simultaneously, we will discuss Art History. **While we will be using High School Portfolio standards to inform our practice, we will not necessarily be making pieces that will fit your 8th grade portfolio application (please see our note below). Please note , the portfolio requirements for the High School application are very rigorous, and cannot be completed in this Tuesday class alone. If you have a 7th or 8th grader that is building a portfolio and would like our assistance, you will need to add-on an additional fee of $90 weekly. This will give your child access to attend our studio any additional days they would like where they will work independently on the assignments required for their portfolio. We will also assign them required homework. Please email us about this option. This class is taught by Anna Donado, MFA, and Juan Carlos Donado, PhD in Philosophy. *Please note , this class will focus on works on paper with pencil, paint, and pastels. There will be little to no 3D building as this is a rigorous drawing and art history class. Homework This class will receive a weekly homework assignment. While homework is optional, we do recommend that your child completes the assignments each week in order to benefit the most from the class.
