Class experience
US Grade 1 - 4
Beginner - Advanced Level
This will be a weekly class this winter, for 6 weeks. The class is intended for younger kids, to introduce them to the world of drawing and creativity. I have many prepared projects to work on, and we will work on them together during the class. After starting off with step by step instruction, they will have time to experiment with their own individual creations. We will start with basic skills, line, shading, shape making,scribbling and making funny pictures. We will draw funny faces, funny...
The most important goal is that the students have fun with drawing, enjoy doing it, and while doing it, find a way to express themselves. As the class continues, they will acquire skills that should last and become a part of their developing personalities. Hopefully, they will make pictures that are decorative and they can be personally proud of.
I am a long-standing and exhibited professional artist, who specializes in sketching, printmaking, and computer graphics. I received a Masters of Fine Arts (many years ago), from Queens College in NYC, and taught for many years at the community college level, before (and during) a 41 year career working for Social Security. I have recently taught several kids enrichment classes at a local school district, and summer classes for kids 5-8 and 9-13. This has gone really well and it is what I am focusing on these days. Having 5 little grandkids of my own, I am quite comfortable teaching and relating with kids of that age.
Homework Offered
They will have a weekly assignment that should be fun and not take too much time. They will also be encouraged to continue working on that week's projects after the class.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Each student will likely grow at their own pace, and how much progress they make individually will be discussed and feedback will be provided. Each student will be encouraged to reflect on how they are progressing and understanding what we are doing.Grades Offered
6 files available upon enrollmentI will have weekly packages of learning materials for all learners, hopefully able to easily download and use. Children will need a sketch book, 9X12 is best, inexpensive sketchbooks are available at Art Supply stores, Staples, or on Amazon. Later in the class, they may like some sheets of larger drawing paper. Drawing pencils, a set or a few different types, such as a B, 2B, H and a 2H, also yellow school pencils are good. They should have one or two fine black gel roller pens, such as Pentel, Pilot, Uniball or Bic . We will use a lot of fine color markers, sets are available at Staples or Amazon, an inexpensive set of about 12 colors is good. For younger kids, make sure they are washable! Also a similar set of colored pencils. White erasers, pencil sharpeners and a ruler or T Square are also needed. A set of watercolors is optional. I would estimate a full set of supplies will cost less than $40.00.
From time to time, we will look at the best of kid-related pictures, from Alice in Wonderland, to Peanuts, to Maurice Sendak.
Hi, I'm Steve Breslow. I started drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil in my hand. I went on to get an MFA from Queens College, I've had multiple art exhibits, and taught at the community college level. That ws interrupted by 41 years of word...
