Piet Mondrian lived from 1872 two 1944. His paintings are some of the most recognizable in the world. What many do not realize is that he was not always an abstract painter. He was one of the most sensitive, talented and skillful realistic drawers and painters in history.In this class, students will trace his journey from realism to modern art by creating three separate pieces. One an incredibly realistic drawing. Two the beginning of Abstract art as Mondrian paints trees In a new way, and the third a completely abstract design made only from black white and the primary colors.I promise that they are all related closely and I will teach you why!

Many of our students from fifth grade to high school are absolute masters of sketching, shading, and rendering in pencil. I love to build on incredible skills, and strengthen students’ powers of observation.In this class, we will all sit around one huge table covered with paper.In the center?A life-size human skeleton!As everyone draws, they will see different parts from a different perspective. This strengthens individual confidence, knowledge of the human anatomy for artists, and drawing in perspective, including for shortening! The end product creates one enormous circular image of a ring of interlocking bones!Fun and challenging!Register now if you have skills and want even more!
