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 February 3rd) Otherwise, we follow the school holidays and classes are over the end of May. (Includes Field trip the end of May & also Art Show in June).
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.
