This class is available to all kids ages 6-14.
The goal is art exploration, with the first half of each class focused on short projects to investigate different materials and ideas.
The second half of classes will allow for open-studio style freedom. Students who register can drop in on a week-by-week basis, so no need to worry about vacations getting in the way.
Individual private sessions are also available.
Intermediate and advanced students have the option to either delve into paintings referencing live draped or undraped models or a mirror, for single figure or multi-figurative paintings. Or using photos of landscapes, pets, family, friends etc., as reference. Or perhaps works from the imagination, where the light, also from the imagination, is perceived as being from a certain fixed direction throughout.
