Description:

We will meet weekly on Tuesdays after school for a month to explore the foundations of drawing: line, shape, value, proportion, scale, and perspective. Students will learn how to connect their eyes with their hands in drawing from life, and they will learn skills that can be applied to many careers.

This class is a more academic approach to drawing and art. We will not be doing crafts or projects, but rather working on the real skills involved in learning how to draw. It will be loosely based on the Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain for Kids, which is a fun yet effective approach to learning how to see and how to draw. Please consider this approach when registering your child.

All drawing materials will be supplied, and they will be able to bring their work home after each class. Snack will be provided, and they will be able to ride the school bus to the Depot, if needed.

The school bus arrives at 3:45 pm, we will have 15 minutes of snacks and orientation. Class is over at 5:45 pm.

Testimonials

“I wanted to thank you for the fun and exciting workshop that you hosted. It was a great experience and very productive. You were so organized and intentional to share so much painting knowledge with the group and still allowed for time to have the group paint. I really enjoyed it. I am trying to work on simplicity and limiting my values more after your workshop. Thanks again and would love to get out to paint with you any time you are up to painting.” – Chris
