ANOTHER LOOK: This course offers the child a variety of exciting art experiences based upon explorations of his/her immediate world. Using a variety of art media the child translates his/her learning into drawings, paintings and sculpture. In creating their art, the child explores visual concepts such as open/closed, smooth/ rough and straight and curved as perceived in art and the visual world. Lessons are designed to actively engage the child in the creative process. COLOR MY WORLD: Inspired by the children's book "Color My World" by Debbie Mancini-Wilson, this course encourages children to use words, images, and imagination to express their inner thoughts, illustrate memories, and create a colorful narrative of their lives. Interactive prompts in the book serve as the starting point for art-making as students ponder past experiences, think about important people in their lives, and capture some of their favorites objects and places through drawing.

DRAWING WORKSHOP FOR CHILDREN: For the young artist who loves to draw, this fast-paced course offers a little bit of everything. Students create drawings from memory, observation, imagination, and in response to the art of master artists. Different approaches, tools, materials and techniques are presented and explored using a diverse range of media, from pen and pencil to color explorations in pastel and paint. With the introduction of each new medium and technique, students create studies and sketches as preparation for several larger, refined pieces for the final art show. Emphasis is on exposure to a variety of traditional and non-traditional drawing media and surfaces, with hands-on process work and experimentation at the heart of learning each new drawing technique or medium. SCULPTURE WORKSHOP FOR CHILDREN: From wire and wood sculpture to clay, plaster and carved forms, this course is for the student who thinks in three dimensions. Students combine a mixture of additive and subtractive techniques to create sculptures that may be large or small, smooth or rough, uniform or multi-colored, individual or collaborative. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Brancusi, Moore, Nevelson, and many more, students think about the way sculpture can convey a likeness, repeat forms, express a concept or emotion, and utilize space in visually interesting ways. Emphasis is on sculptures as artful three-dimensional objects that can be viewed from all sides, with a form and surface treatment that are cohesive and expressive of the students' ideas and vision.

DRAWING FROM LIFE: In this course, students hone observational drawing skills using a variety of 2-D media and specific subject matter such as still-life set-ups, objects, natural forms, and the surrounding landscape and/or cityscape. Students learn numerous skills and techniques for representational drawing by focusing on and capturing what they see using value, shading and contrast to create a sense of form. Composition is emphasized as students make purposeful decisions about how to organize space within a 2-dimensional picture plane. EXPLORING IMAGINATION: As a counterpart to "Drawing from Life" this course taps into students' visual memory and imagination. Emphasis is on utilizing life-drawing skills to generate imaginative scenes that are life-like, yet possess fantastic, innovative, and dream-like narratives that surpass real-life objects, places, and things. By building upon the "Drawing from Life" class, students utilize newly acquired drawing, shading and compositional skills as they take excursions into the world of imagination. Wet and dry color media are introduced as an additional means of imaginative expression.
