Artists only make art about 9 things. Believe me? See if you can think of more! Known as “The Nine,” this course will spend each week exploring a different subject in art: Object, Figure, Architecture, Portrait, Landscape, Conceptual, Non-Representational, Imagination, Nature. (Credit to Ian Sands for this structure)
In this class you're taught how BE an artist, how to see and think like one. It's not just about the final product, it's about how you got there and why. You’ll be developing the Studio Habits of Mind (Develop Craft, Engage & Persist, Envision, Express, Observe, Stretch & Explore, Understanding Art, Reflect). These are useful habits no matter what you go on to do in life. You're taught more than just how to draw and paint (of course along the way you'll be taught new techniques and skills that'll surely help you improve) but this class is more than that. Strengthen your confidence and ability to express yourself in new ways.
