Thursdays, 1:30-3:30pm
4 Week Sessions
This art class uses a variety of media to teach concepts of composition, balance, rhythm, movement, color, and values . Creative thinking is the goal by focusing on individual challenges and team projects. Drawing (graphite, pen & ink, pastels), painting (acrylic, watercolor, tempra), collage, Photoshop, digital photography, and video are some of the media a
vailable for exploring creativity. Students can enroll for the duration appropriate to their budget and availability. Experiences and learning opportunities expand for students who continue through multiple sessions.
6-8 year old students will playfully create with a variety of media. Parental involvement is urged for this age group. This is an opportunity for a caregiver to participate and learn how to provide creative time. 9-12 year olds start with drawing. Basic shapes are used to define the underlying form of real objects. Controlling values while working with charcoal and graphite is an important step before exploring the complexities of color. Teens are introduced to compositional elements through drawing, painting, and photography. Opportunities to adventure into realms of self-expression are encouraged. The primary instructor is Dan Cooper, a lifelong professional visual artist with 5 years of experience at the Art Center.
