AA Calendar List

So you like to draw, but you want to get better at it. Okay, let's make that happen! Students will be working on exercises involving negative space, value shading, portraits, contour lines, and perspective. These basics will help to build a concrete basis for an understanding of how to improve your artwork. We will work primarily in graphite, and if time permits, students can add color with the medium of their choice. A Gallery Show of our students' artwork will be extended to families following class on the final day!  Taught by Artist/Instructor Pamela Palmer B.F.A., Owner/Entrepreneur of The Artist's Apprentice.

Kids will select the animal friend of their particular preference and work from a photo reference or bring in a photo of your fuzzy pet if you wish! Pupils will be working from nature on other substrates as well. Register today, class size limited!

Watercolor paintings, so fresh and beautiful! We love all of the effects that can be made with just a few techniques. Kids will be learning where to use the crystal effects of sea salt, the 'blooms' of wet-on-wet application and experiment with color overlays. This nature based series will give your child knowledge to use when they venture off into the world with their own painting ideas.Register today, class size limited!
