Wednesday: Drawing and Painting [Ages 5-8]

Focusing on drawing techniques, this foundation course will build skills needed to continue on the visual arts track. In this class, we will learn the vocabulary and explore the different drawing and painting tools of an artist. Through exploring still-lifes and a variety of exciting subjects like animals and nature, we will use different drawing and painting tools, such as charcoal, pencils, watercolor, and acrylic paint. New and continuing students welcome! Hybrid option available upon request. Please reach out to Kirsten Sanford, Education Manager for more information kirsten@westwindsorarts.org.
