HOMESCHOOL ART CLASSES

We are very excited to announce that we have now opened registration for homeschool art classes! 

​These classes will be designed as 12 week sessions with classes held once a week.  We will be limiting the classes to small groups of 9 kids ages 7 and up but will be adding as many class times during the week as needed to accommodate everyone who is interested.

This 12 week session will cover:
  • Intro to principles of art: In this series of classes we go over things like complementary colors, monochromatic colors & tertiary colors, approaches and applications. 
  • Zentangle method: The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.
  • Shading methods: In this series of classes we will be teaching a introductions to different shading methods such as:
    • Hatching: Lines drawn in the same direction. By drawing lines closer together, darker values are created. Leaving more space between lines results in lighter values. For rounded objects, the lines may curve slightly around the form - following the contours of the object.
    • Crosshatching: Lines cross over each other. The density at which the lines cross over each other determines the value that is produced.
    • Blending: Smooth gradations of value are produced either by adjusting the amount of pressure applied to the medium or by using a blending tool
    • Stippling: Applying countless small dots to build up darker values in a drawing. The density of the dots determines the value produced.
  • Negative and positive spaces: Positive and negative space play an important role in determining the overall composition in a work of art.  By understanding positive and negative space and applying your knowledge, you can become more successful in designing your compositions. In these weeks we will go over how to use this method in easy art and craft applications.
