This introduction class is designed to cultivate one’s artistic style and to find which art medium suits them best. The goal of this class is to create a safe space where students can harbor their talents and discover the diversity of their abilities. Each class will be tailored to the students present each week to allow for a personal experience. Class will begin with each student choosing a word/song that holds meaning to them. From there we will use the chosen word as a guideline for the week’s medium.
Week 1: We will start out using graphite pencils and a notebook. These are the only supplies necessary to bring. Having these basic tools can be the forefront of any creativity and should be brought every class.
Week 2: We will be working with watercolor. Using different tools to try different techniques of application.
Week 3: We will be working with pens and notebook paper. Interpreting the word of the week.
Week 4: The class will be working with charcoal. We will be working with a bigger scale working with shading, pressure of the charcoal, and ways to use it.
Week 5: We will be working with oil pastels using the word of the week to interpret a piece of art.
Week 6: The last medium well be using is acrylic paint. Combining many of the techniques and ideas from previous classes to create a final piece.
Each week on Saturdays there will be an open studio between 8-10am. We encourage all students to come in if they would like to continue to work on their pieces of art. The last Saturday after the final class will be an open studio. We encourage students to come and set up their artwork and display it for their family.
