In our classes we begin with the basics & by understanding the foundations in art we can take our art to new levels. 

First in class we will do exercises that build and develop our visual language & skills.  Learning to ‘see’ our subject & the world around us will be what informs our art.  We’ll study form & what works or does not work. We will look at positive and negative space & learn how to use perspective to aid our art study. Breaking down shapes, form and color & learning how to pull all these building blocks together to create a compelling piece of art.

We also want to consider what draws us to art & creating & which artists excite you! 

In the second part of each class we encourage free form expression. A time to draw, paint and be expressive. You may work on any new or ongoing piece of artwork of your choice. Bring good quality reference pictures to class with you if you like!  This is a great learning experience that welcomes teen artists of all skill levels and interests and encourages each artist to grow his or her skills and portfolio.
