Skillbuilders Jr.
The Art Express: From Abstract to Realistic
July 18-28  (8 meetings M-Thur; no meetings on Fridays)
11:00-noon      
Ages 6-11
This fun beginners class will take students on a journey through the standard  genres of art - the portrait, landscape, and still life - while introducing foundational skills.  Our first stop will be in abstraction where students will play with the elements of line and shape.  Each stop along the way will gradually lead to increased control of those essentials, ending in more realistic depiction of simple imagery.  Students will observe and discuss the work of selected artists and will explore materials such as pencil, ink, watercolor, collage and pastel.
$50 per 1st student (all supplies included)
$35 per additional sibling (immediate family only)

Students Explore the Art of Linoleum Block Printing

Over the past five weeks, this small but focused group of teens learned a little about the art of printmaking.  We observed and discussed several different types of prints from centuries past as well as contemporary work.  But, mostly, they spent time carving and printing linocuts of their own.

This type of printmaking is easy to do at home - no press needed.  Hopefully, students will be able continue to explore this medium on their own.  But, I will definitely offer this class again.
