Introduce your budding artist to the exciting world of visual art. Projects are designed to meet the developmental needs and abilities of young children in a safe and nurturing environment. Children will learn how to successfully use art tools and materials and develop basic art vocabulary. During the last 10 minutes of each class, young artists will display their work and communicate what they have learned and what they enjoyed, providing parents an opportunity to discover ways to support their preschoolers in becoming confident artists.

In this class, students are introduced to basic drawing skills, tools and techniques through a variety of engaging activities and projects. We will be covering: line quality, contrast, one-point perspective and basic anatomy. A full toolbox provides artists with a solid foundation for the communication of their creative ideas. All skill levels welcome - no experience necessary.

This class is for artists who have mastered the basic skills and are ready to develop a personal style. Each project is based on an artist or artistic movement from a variety of cultures and eras, representing a range of creative expressions for students to explore and emulate. We will begin to explore color using oil pastels, colored pencils and markers. Prerequisite: Drawing 101 or instructor permission
