classes for kids ages 8+

Studio Art 1 is an engaging and comprehensive introduction to the world of visual art, designed to nurture creativity, technical skills, and artistic exploration. Throughout the course, students will work on a variety of projects guided by overarching themes, such as realism, fantasy, conceptual art, portraiture, study-based approaches, and impressionism. These themes provide a structured yet flexible framework for artistic growth, encouraging students to experiment and develop their unique creative voice.

Each project in this class introduces a new medium month to month, offering students hands-on experience with a diverse range of materials, including watercolor, acrylic paint, graphite pencil, colored pencil, and chalk pastel. This rotational approach not only builds versatility but also deepens students' understanding of the characteristics and possibilities of each medium.

As students progress, they will refine foundational art skills, such as understanding lighting, mastering proportions, and identifying key details that bring their work to life. The class emphasizes the importance of observation and artistic interpretation, encouraging students to consider what details contribute to the success and meaning of a piece.

Students will explore a wide variety of subject matter, including seasonal motifs, imaginative creatures, still-life arrangements, natural scenery, and original designs. Each project is crafted to challenge students' creativity and technical ability, allowing them to grow at their own pace.

Artworks in Studio Art 1 often span multiple sessions, providing ample time for students to fully realize their ideas and achieve a polished, finished result. Along the way, students are encouraged to reflect on what makes a piece complete and how they can infuse their personal style into their work.

This course is perfect for aspiring artists looking to develop their skills, express themselves creatively, and gain a deeper appreciation for the artistic process. Whether discovering a new medium or exploring a favorite theme, Studio Art 1 inspires students to create art that is meaningful and uniquely their own.
