Artists will meet each week to draw and paint a fun and colorful piece! We will use pencil/eraser, markers, crayons, oil pastels, watercolors, acrylic paints and layers of paper to create vibrant, individual masterpieces. Each week we will focus on different art elements and design principles as we work, including line, shape, color, space, texture, tone, and balance. Artists are encouraged to try their own ideas and use what I share as inspiration. I want them to explore and experiment!

After quick hellos and introductions, we will get right to work and have fun! I will guide students throughout the class, plus they will be able to see the artwork on my overhead art cam as a reference. Please be sure to have supplies ready before class to make our time efficient!

Mar 11th: Rainbow Design

Mar 25th: Sunflowers

Throughout the class, I will have artists hold up their work to show their progress to both myself and their peers and celebrate how far they have come. It is NOT important that work is complete when they share, as everyone works at a different pace. Being able to recognize any and all progress is very important, although the number one goal is, of course, to have fun!

I am excited to share these ideas with new artists!
