It's Time for Back-To-School Fall 2013 Art Classes!

It's been a while since I offered these Skill-Builder  "Basics" classes, but it's time to bring them back to have available for a new crop of young artists!  For registration information - contact me at doodlebirdstudio@hotmail.com

REGISTER BY AUG. 30TH FOR EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT!



Skill-Builders Jr.
The Art Express:
From Abstract to Realistic
 
Thursdays 3:30-4:30 p.m.
8 -Week Session  Begins September 5th - Last Class October 24th
*Best suited for students Ages 5-9*

This fun beginners class will take students on a journey through the standard genres of portrait, landscape, and still life while introducing foundational skills. Our first stop will be in abstraction where we will begin playing with the basic elements of line and shape. And, each stop along the way will gradually lead to increased control of these essentials, ending in more realistic depictions of simple imagery. Students will observe the work of selected artists and will explore materials such as pencil, ink, watercolor, collage, and pastel. Class Size Limit: 10

For EARLY BIRD RATES, register by August 30th
$50 per 1st student (supplies included) and $40 per additional sibling (immediate family/same class)

August 31 or after:
$65 per 1st student (all supplies included) and $55 per additional sibling (immediate family/same class)



Skill-Builders 1: Basic Drawing
 
 
Tuesdays 3:30-4:45 p.m.
8-week Session  Begins September 10th - Last Class on October 29th

Ages 10 years and older
(or 9 year olds who show a self-driven interest and with instructor permission)

*Best for those newer to drawing OR with little
previous art instruction - you can be a beginner AT ANY AGE,
so you're never "too old" for this class*  

This class is for both the artistic and artistically-challenged. Students will explore the “ABC’s” of drawing with line and shape, basic concepts of composition, the simple impact of line variation, the usefulness of negative space, tricks to building simple and complex imagery, and more. Although we will complete one or two “finished” works, please note that the goal of this class is not to generate a stack of frame-able art pieces. Instead, students will create a skills sketchbook, recording their discoveries throughout the session. At this point, more emphasis is placed on understanding the processes and concepts than achieving a perfect result.
