i love art – pre-school
Art is a childs first language. Painting, drawing, pasting, sculpting,
puppet-making and a loving, non-judgmental environment help foster
creativity and original thinking in young artists. A little story begins
each class and a little snack ends it.
................
Hang out with a bunch of cool teens and learn elements of drawing, how to see, how color works and what happens when you put it all together. This is a concentrated class in 3 parts. First, learn to draw from life including proportion and the elements of human anatomy. The second section will focus on learning about color and how light affects color. Finally, we will use our drawing and color skills to produce prints incorporating different media. Bring a picture of yourself to paint a self-portrait from. We will keep a visual journal/altered book of our summer experiences. Most materials and techniques will be furnished.
................
Painting, drawing and sculpture develop perceptual and motor skills as young artists discover the magic and beauty of color and form. We will emphasize creativity, originality of ideas and the joy that making art can bring.
................
drawing, painting & clay for kids
Instructor: Lisa di Prima (for ages 10 - 15)
Young artists explore a variety of media: tempera paints, oil and chalk pastels, watercolors, colored pencils, marking pens and clay. Children are enthusiastically encouraged to give free reign to their imaginations while having fun mastering basic fine art skills.
................
Please note: For all children's classes, we encourage you to enroll early so that we may have an accurate student count one week prior to the start of classes. We can then create a waiting list for classes that have reached their capacity or give families more notice if a class must be cancelled due to low enrollment. Security rules require that parents come into the Art Center to drop off and pick up children.
