Length & Dates: 24 weeks (Starting the week of October 14th, with a break through Christmas / no classes in January / and then starting back the week of Feb.3rd ) Otherwise, we follow school holidays and classes & Field Trip are over around the end of May. Art show is in June.
Medium: All students generally start off in the graphite (pencil) medium. Students may register for Weekend Workshops which are held throughout the year with continuous studio courses and as they are interested and ready for soft pastel, acrylics, watercolors, etc.
**Older students may start in a different medium if they have had a lot of drawing experience and some previous experience in other mediums ( see New Adult Registration to see price increase amount for supplies which will be due the first day of the workshop). Feel free to call Christina if you are unsure.
Course Outline: No previous experience is necessary, however a weekend workshop in the chosen medium is a prerequisite. The students choose their own still-life or a reference picture to work from. They work on their pieces independently while the teacher comes around to go over their artwork on a one-on-one basis. Each lesson consists of individual instruction and a group lesson on techniques and art theories.
Instruction will include:
A working knowledge of the art mediums used, including materials and techniques specific to this medium, and also demonstrations and exercises (part of the basic workshop - taken prior to weekly classes)
The basic elements of art (color, value, line, shape, texture and space/form)
The basic principles of composition in art (emphasis, balance, movement, repetition/rhythm, proportion, variety and unity)
A brief component of art history (cultural) and art criticism (response) in order to be able to describe, analyze, interpret particular artwork based on its style. (realism, expressionism, abstract or other various styles) also with focusing on one artist & learning about them & painting a collaborative piece together.
A unit in Portraits - to help all students get over fear - as once they learn they can do portraits, they realize they can do anything in art!
Through this background knowledge, and doing exercises in 3-dimension, beginning with an emphasis on realism, each student will define and develop their own style through creating their own chosen subjects with continued individual instruction and individual critiques.
* A Field Trip is planned at the end of each year and an Art Show for students who wish to show their work.
