In this skill-building art class, creativity meets technique. Students will embark on a hands-on journey to strengthen their drawing, painting, and printmaking skills while building a rich and personal portfolio. We’ll explore the foundational elements of drawing using a range of media, including pencil, charcoal, pen, and ink. In painting, students will experiment with gouache and acrylics, with a strong emphasis on color theory and application.
Each class will include quick creative warm-ups and imaginative exercises designed to spark ideas and encourage making without overthinking. Core visual concepts such as line, perspective, value, space, shape, texture, pattern, and design will be introduced through engaging projects. While the pace is dynamic and enjoyable, the extended format of the class also allows for deeper focus, personal growth, and sustained artistic development.
