There are many methods of teaching
art. However, for children interested in learning to draw, it
is important to provide the basic skills needed to reproduce
what is seen in the world around them.
Using traditional and contemporary
methods of drawing and painting, your child will learn to master
basic drawing skills. Freehand copies of professional artist's
work will help students realize their artistic goals.
As your child's abilities improve,
additional creative assignments are given. Applying the knowledge
they have gained while working in various mediums, children are
encouraged to create original drawings of their own.
Our art instruction begins with
drawing exercises in pencil and pen and ink. After basic drawing
skills are learned, children progress to color exercises in watercolor
and finally, oil paints.
Throughout the program, drawing
fundamentals are always stressed: Shape, Line, Color and Composition.
These are the foundations of all visual arts.
Let your child discover the
joy and excitement that comes from exploring the creativity within!
