SUMMER SESSION: WEEK 4

4 consecutive days: 6/23/25 - 6/26/25

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday; 11:00am-12:30pm

This class is specifically designed for artists in 5th through 9th grade.

 The word Abstract in Art is a tricky one. The word is used in conversations all the time, but is it really understood? And where does abstract art come from? By definition, abstract can mean something changed from the traditional image that we are used to, such as Picasso moving the parts of the face interchangeably.However, the definition that artists adore most is, “Something that is only a thought or idea, but has no physical existence.”That is, until artists bring it to life before our eyes!This class walks students through several Art-making processes that generate abstract images. We then encourage students to continue the work independently in their own direction.Classes will be structured as a lesson to teach the process, and then as a guided studio time. This is the perfect opportunity for a thoughtful growing artist to challenge their creative thinking. Students should be open minded, and able to work independently.

This class runs on Mon. 6/23/25, Tues.6/24/25, Wed. 6/25/25, & Thurs.6/26/25; 11:00am-12:30pm

Are you ready to learn something new? Have you always wanted to learn how to use oil paints, but it seemed overwhelming?Oil paints have a long history in the world of Art. We will learn about all of those possibilities. Students will also learn what paints, brushes, and mediums to buy, and when to use them. As a class, we will bring together the skills of drawing, color, mixing, and the painting process and empower our students as they ind their own way as artists! (We use non-toxic methods of oil painting.)
