SUMMER SESSION: WEEK 2

4 consecutive days: 6/9/25 - 6/12/25

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday; 9:00am -10:30am

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!

We will discover all that watercolors have to offer. Often students are given watercolors to use for "coloring in" their drawings, but they are not shown the unique 'watery' qualities that make them so beautiful.

We will even explore basic brushwork leading to Japanese techniques and brushes. Students will create landscape scenes learning color mixing, and techniques to add depth and movement to their paintings.

Being a sculptor has taught me about the importance of connecting the 2 dimensional world to the 3 dimensional.  As students use the same skill set to BUILD sculptures of their drawings, they will begin to understand what an architect might experience as they see blueprints come to life!  Art concepts include the color wheel, abstraction, balance and motion.

I am looking forward to filling the ceiling of our studio with these hanging creations!
