KINDER ARTISTS

Elementary grades 2-5: Designed with elementary school art curriculum in mind, the students will learn: techniques on how to use the different art mediums: acrylic paints, watercolors, mixed media, printmaking, chalk pastel; art theory concepts such as the color wheel, dimension & depth, and use of light & shadow, famous artists and their works and art from different cultures, as they relate to our art projects. 

DRAWING ACADEMY

For grades 4-5: Students will build drawing skills weekly, culminating in a final project at the end of the session. Each session will be focused on a particular subject for drawing: portraits, still lifes, animals, figure drawing, and landscapes. We will be using various mediums through the year: graphite, chalk pastel, oil pastel, alcohol markers, and colored pencil, depending on the project we are doing at the time.

ART FUNDAMENTALS FOR TEENS

GRADES 6+: This class will focus on a variety of art techniques and mediums. Students will help decide on the subject matter for their art projects each week, while I introduce them to various materials and techniques. Students will complete a project each week. 

ART INDEPENDENT STUDY

GRADES 9-12: The goal for the independent study student is to complete 3 artworks in the 6 week session that are part of a theme for their portfolio, using 2D art materials and advise available at the studio. We can also look through the student's portfolio to select the strongest pieces for their portfolio (AP/ Scholastic Award/ Governor's School/college entrance).
