Wednesday: Arts Studio Practices (Ages 8-12)

In Art Studio Practices, students will build and refine their drawing, painting, and sculpting skills while developing a deeper understanding of artistic techniques, vocabulary, and the creative process. Through hands-on exploration and experimentation with a variety of artist tools and materials, students will learn how to make thoughtful choices and bring their ideas to life. Students will explore color relationships, hues, tones, shading, texture, and light sources while practicing techniques such as scribbling, cross-hatching, stippling, and other mark-making methods to create depth, dimension, and realistic details. By studying form, proportion, and observation, students will strengthen their ability to capture the unique features of their subjects and develop confidence in their artistic abilities.

This class will explore traditional studio practices, including still life studies, figure drawing, and painting from reference, while also providing opportunities to experiment with more contemporary approaches. Students will work with a variety of mediums and processes, including air-dry clay and sculpture, printmaking, inking, and more. New projects will be completed throughout the session, so both new and returning students are welcome. Students will continue to expand their skills, explore new techniques, and grow as artists in a supportive studio environment.

A one-time materials fee of $50 is due on the first day of class.
