Description

Drawing & PaintingAges 3-5, 4-6, 6-8, 9-12, 13+ Students explore methods of visual image-making, using a variety of drawing, sketching, and painting techniques inspired by reference, observation, and imagination. Purposeful play is used with the youngest students to develop the use of tools such as pencil, marker, pastel, paint, and ink, as well as life-skills such as confident self-expression, understanding feelings, and effective listening skills. As students progress, understanding is deepened through increased self-direction, discussion of artists, art history and the use of symbols, abstraction, and representation. More advanced techniques, tools, and materials (such as acrylic) are introduced in teen classes.
