KIDS & TEENS
PAINTING

→ Learning from the greats: Incorporating a little bit of art history, these classes will look at how we can take inspiration from famous artists (Monet, Picasso, Kandinskij) or art movements (pointillism, abstract expressionism) to create our own masterpieces mimicking another’s style!

→ Putting stuff in Perspective: during these classes we’ll cover the principles of one point perspective, whilst drawing and painting urban and natural landscapes.

→ Face off: how do you draw a human face? It’s all about proportions! Here, we’ll practice drawing faces by studying the proportions and elements using a mirror.

→ Compositions: what makes a good composition… good? Beauty may be in the eye of the holder but there are certain harmonies, patterns and compositions we’re nearly all drawn to!

→ Is it a bird? Is it a plane?: In some classes we will aim to establish/strengthen basic drawing skills (e.g. draw a bird or a city by starting the drawing with simple geometrical forms like squares, circles and adding the right details)

→ Sir Mix-a-lot: Mixing paints may seem simple, but it’s so easy to only end up with 50 shades of brown. Here we will practice skills like mixing color with a palette knife, painting a value scale, and exploring how different tones complement and contrast.
