Through the use of fun and exciting exercises, this class develops Painting & Drawing skills essential to the creative growth of children. I teach basic to advanced drawing and painting techniques using a vast variety of mediums with focus on the hands-on experience not available elsewhere. Artistic and analytical elements involved in painting are also covered such as: shape, perspective & proportion, light & shadow, texture, tone, value, color and composition. Students will learn to use a variety of materials such as pencils, crayons, pastels, charcoal, and watercolor, to create various kinds of art works. Students will be learning about Still-life painting, Figure painting, Portrait, Nature painting, Scenery painting and at the same time they will create these artworks.  This class is designed to develop a student’s imagination and creativity while learning how to make beautiful works of art.

Some of the benefits of Drawing and Paintings:
