Session 1: Focus on Drawing
Fridays, Jan 23, 30 Feb 6, 13, 20 (5-wk session) 3:30-6:00pm
Library Arts Center Studio (Lower Level)
Instructor: Heidi Lorenz
$50 for five weeks.
Tuition includes all materials.
In this five-class series, teens will build a foundation in drawing while developing their own creative voice. Through guided lessons in line, shape, value, texture, composition, and simple perspective, students learn to see like artists and translate what they see to the page with confidence.
Each class includes a short warm-up to build skills, a clear, structured main project, and a choice-based prompt period where students can explore their own ideas. Sessions end with supportive group sharing to encourage reflection, constructive feedback, and a sense of creative community. All levels are welcome—beginners will feel supported, and more experienced teens will be challenged to deepen their practice.
Session 2: Drawing & Watercolor Series
Fridays, March 13, 20, 27 April 3, 10, 17 (6-wk session) 3:30-6:00pm
Library Arts Center Studio (Lower Level)
Instructor: Heidi Lorenz
$60 for six weeks.
Tuition includes all materials.
This six-class follow-up series introduces watercolor as a natural extension of drawing, helping teens bring their sketches to life with color, light, and atmosphere. Students will explore watercolor techniques, nature studies, landscapes, and expressive color, while continuing to refine their drawing skills.
Each class begins with a warm-up to build comfort and technique, followed by a structured project that focuses on a specific concept, such as light and shadow in color or mood in landscape. Teens then have time for choice-based prompts to experiment with subjects and styles that interest them.
Supportive group sharing at the end of each class helps students reflect on their progress and fosters a welcoming, creative community. Session 2 is ideal for students who have taken Session 1 or who have some basic drawing experience.
