$300

with Michael Symber

Calendar Mar 15, 2024 at 10 am, runs for 6 weeks

Making art is all about playing. Artists have to experiment with materials and mark-making before they find their style.Many of us can recognize a Picasso, a van Gogh, or a Frida Kahlo very quickly, but what makes those Works so recognizable?This 6 week workshop will give you the chance to play with many different techniques and materials without pressure. This is a chance to simply see what they do. Which ones look cool, and which ones are not for you. No experiences needed for this class except a wonderful, curiosity and appreciation for the arts! Please join us and take home 8 finished artworks or your landscape!

This is a 6 week workshop: Fridays, 10:00am-12:00pm; 3/15, 3/22, (SKIP  3/29), 4/5, 4/12, 4/19 (SKIP 2/26) and 5/3/24.

How to Draw Animals (3rd to 8th grade)

$200

with Michael Symber

Calendar Apr 25, 2024 at 4 pm, runs for 4 weeks

This class is specifically designed for artists in 3rd through 8th grade.

Learn how to draw realistic animals!

 I have said all my life, “If you want to learn about something, draw it.” This is absolutely true of animals! You will learn far more than how they look. Observe how they stand, how they sleep, what makes them happy or angry. What time of year do they lose their hair or hunt?We will begin with the drawing fundamentals shape, proportion, light, shadow, and texture. Soon enough, however, students will get their own sketchbooks and set of graphite pencils to keep studies of their favorite animals! Passion is what makes us great artists, so if you love animals, please grab this great opportunity!

 

This is a 4 week class that runs on Thursdays 4:00-5:30pm; 4/25/24, 5/2/24, 5/9/24 and 5/16/24.

Kids can be fashion designers too! You may not know how to sew or create patterns yet, but you are an artist who can dream of the next NEW styles the world will wear! In this class, we use wooden forms of the figure to create outfits, and share with other students while we blast music and walk them down the runway! Your designs are removable so you can create as many as you would like for weeks! How fun is it to see young desingers peruse tables full of cloth remnants, ribbon, beads, feathers, leather, yarn, and carry it back to their workstation ready to create!? We discuss patterns, and plan out designs using graphite and watercolors. We use tacky glue, hot-glueand at times, needle & thread. This is a very fun, open-studio class in which each student can work independently. Also,...remember! Fashion Design is not ONLY FOR GIRLS! Fashion is a serious, and competitive art form, and we have incredible creations from ALL of our artists! At the end of each class, we turn up the music, do our power walks around the studio, and give each compliments on our favorites! If you are looking for an incredibly fun art class, YOU FOUND IT!

This class runs for 4 consecutive days; Monday 6/3, Tuesday 6/4, Wednesday 6/5 & Thursday, 6/6/24 from 1:00pm-2:30pm.
