Kids can create amazing works of art!
Students learn basic, solid skills, artist's 'tips' and receive encouragement all along the way.
Classes are structured, yet geared toward the age and skill level in each class.

JUNE 13
(Friday) 9:00-11:30am Grades 3-6 MINECRAFT *FULL* E-mail me to be put on the waiting list and/or to be notified when another Minecraft workshop is scheduled. 1-DAY WORKSHOP The best part of Minecraft is the continual building, creating and storytelling. On graph paper, I will show students how to draw their own characters and worlds with 3-D boxes and how to create depth and perspective in their imaginary world. Each student gets to take a small graph paper sketchbook home - to continue to explore his or her imagination throughout the summer. $32. JUNE 28
(Saturday) 9-11:30am Grades 1-9 PET PORTRAIT 1-DAY WORKSHOP *FULL* E-mail me to be put on the waiting list. Create a portrait of your favorite pet – one you have or wish you had! I will guide you as you draw the shapes and develop the values and textures that make your pet unique. Bring 3-5 photos of your pet to class – clear close-ups are the best. $30. Students, grades 6-9, may want to extend their time until 12:30 to have the opportunity develop the drawing further. $10. |
JUNE 16-20
(Monday - Friday) 9-10:30am Grades 1-5 FLOWER POWER If you know me, you know I love to paint flowers! This week we will celebrate our favorite blooms by mixing colors using pastels and paint. Get ready for bold and beautiful! New projects for this summer – including colored pencil and watercolor on a tile! $90. 11-12:30pm Grades 3-6 ROCKS & MINERALS *FULL* E-mail me to be put on the waiting list. Yep, this week rocks! We will be creating a 3-dimensional colored pencil drawing of a precious gem, a cross section of a slice of agate in oil pastel, and a papier-mâché sculpture of a geode. Sparkles included. $90. 1-3pm Grades 5-9 PAINTING - BIG! Claes Oldenberg, Chuck Close and Andy Warhol are artists who became famous for taking everyday subjects and making them larger than life. Beginning with a series of small sketches, students will discover what happens when an artist drastically changes the scale of their subject matter. They will problem solve to choose their favorite sketch, transfer the image to an 18”x24” or 20”x20” canvas, select and mix colors, maneuver acrylic paint, balance values, create visual interest and arrange a dynamic composition. $120.
