No crafts…fine arts geared to the young.

Structured for the young artist yearning to create and explore art.  Students are taught on an individual basis as teachers guide each student to “see” through drawing, painting and sculpture. 

Young Artists begin by drawing with charcoal on a large scale using a reference or from direct observation.  Students practice the layering of pastels, learning color, value, composition and dimension.   After learning foundation principals, students have the option to progress to painting in oil.

Sculpture is taught using a three dimensional reference.  By building with and manipulating clay, students will learn about lights, darks and proportion.

Drawing & Painting

Students may begin with thumbnail sketches of a still life of their choosing. A charcoal and/or pastel drawing is developed on a larger scale from direct observation. Lessons learned in drawing about tone values become invaluable in the creation of an oil painting. Each student is taught individually starting with the technicalities of the application of oil paint and an analysis of color. Students are instructed how to create the illusion of dimension through the achievement of tone variation, perspective, composition and form. Students are taught individually from their own point of development.

Mixed Media Sculpture

While in drawing and painting you are creating the illusion of dimension, in sculpture you are actually working to create full dimension. Students are introduced to three dimensional form through the human form. Sculpture classes start with a basic head in clay. By creating a bust, self portrait or a figurative sculpture, students master form and structure and discover how to portray lights and darks in clay. Students may work from the live model, doing sketches in clay.
