Enroll your child in this 12-week course and dive into the possibilities with drawing and painting. Explore, discover, and go further with your practice in this choice-based course. Make YOUR ideas happen! Everyone will have the opportunity to choose a matted frame for a finished piece or a canvas, and have the option to publish their work in our online art show (link below).
Artwork created will not be cookie cutter or almost identical to someone else. Because we focus on the entire artistic process from exploring and planning to refining and reflecting, along with the child as an individual, the quantity of work and what is made will depend on how your child likes to work. Kids that need more time to explore and experiment, may go home with more practice work than someone who is ready to invest a lot of time into making a more finished piece or who works slowly with lots of detail and refinement.
Your child will make work that is exciting and meaningful to them. We teach techniques and concepts, but if your child is not quite ready to implement something, or is not interested, we do not force them to put it into practice. Observation is a great learning tool too, and every artist runs into emotional blocks from time to time.
Once we get to know your child, we meet them at their level and challenge them when they are ready. There is lots of small group and 1:1 instruction during studio times.
The artSPARK Online Art Show is a part of this program! Kids in our 3rd-5th grade, 5th-8th grade, middle school, and high school groups will have an opportunity and a choice to submit a piece in our online show.
