This class is designed for artists in 3rd through 6th grade. 

In 1886, The artists Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the painting technique of painting with very small points of color as opposed to blending the paint.  The term Pointillism was actually used by critics at the time to make fun of these artists in a cruel way.  Little did they know that the style as well as the named would survive as an inventive form of Impressionism.  Georges Seurat found that the ability of the eye and the mind of the viewer to blend these dots of paint through sight could allow the use of more colors, and a broader range of tone in his paintings.  

Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of landscape drawing such as how to use horizon lines, Drawing tress, and knowing their parts, and drawing the scene in perspective.  These may seem like difficult concepts for budding artists, but I promise you, they can do it!!!

Please join us and create your masterpiece!

Making art is all about playing. Artists need time to experiment with materials and mark-making before they find their individual style. Many of us can recognize a Picasso, a van Gogh, or a Frida Kahlo very quickly, but what makes those Works so recognizable? They found their voices.This 6 week workshop will give you the chance to play with many different techniques and materials as you interpret a portrait of your choice.Without pressure, this is a chance to create 8 pieces using 8 different processes! How intriguing is that?!! No experiences needed for this class except a wonderful, curiosity and appreciation for the arts! Please join us and take home 8 finished portraits!

When artists set out to express themselves, they have an arsenal of skills that they have collected and trained with for years. The most powerful of these is the ability to DRAW.There are many definitions, but drawing to me means the mark making it that is a foundation of your image. The powers of gravity, space, form, light, shadow, even perspective are vital to artists.Join us as students will use pencil, charcoal and various blending tools to learn how to make quick studies as well as longer more involved drawing studies using layering.

This workshop will run for 4 sessions; 6/16/25, 6/17/25, 618/25 & 6/20/25; 1:00pm-3:00pm. (*Please note: We will skip over 6/19/25 in honor of Juneteenth.)

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
