Drawing, Painting, Collage & Clay! (This class will be different from last year’s- both continuing and new students are encouraged!)
This course will introduce new skills and hone the basic practices of the middle-elementary-age art student: Color-Mixing, Paint Application, Drawing, Rendering and Composition. We will talk about how to the lay the groundwork for starting a painting. A study of Master Paintings will help us learn about Color and Harmonies, as well as the paintings’ importance in Art History. Contour drawings will strengthen Hand-Eye Coordination, and we’ll use Still-Life to study Form and Shadow. A chance to experiment and learn in the following mediums will be included over the classes: Pencil, Charcoal, Pastel, Watercolor & Acrylic Paints. Several artwork projects will be completed, including at least one canvas painting. All lead by one of Raleigh’s own well-known painters!
