Learn and practice foundational visual arts concepts in this exploration-based and engaging class. No experience necessary--all that's required is a sense of discovery, an open mind, and a willingness to get slightly messy!
Each class will focus on an individual component of visual art, such as Color, Contrast, Pattern, or Form (shape). We'll start with a warm up to get your kids and teens in the zone to create, then practice 1-3 techniques while introducing core concepts along the way. Expect to come out of class with some new knowledge and vocabulary, 1-3 pieces of art, and a confidence boost! Neither perfection nor artistic realism are the goals--just fun, self-expression, and learning! Parents/caregivers are welcome to attend with their littles free of charge.
Optional to bring:
- Layered clothing (suitable for paint and similar messy materials)
- Spill-proof water bottle
- Non-messy snack, if needed
