Program Fall 2021:

Tuesday’s program (will be oriented on academic and classical art through drawing, painting, and sculpting.)

teaching drawing, painting and sculpting in the classical academic style. 

The program will include, but is not limited to:

– Classical sketching 

– Life drawing with charcoal, chalk and graphite pencils 

– Studying old masters figures and animal drawings. 

– Landscape drawing 

– Learning perspective

– 3D modeling and installations.

– Painting still life and portraits.

 

Our art classes consist of a vast diversity of styles, techniques, media, and ideas. Our main goal is to make sure that our students feel confident using different media, be happy in their creative activity, (understand that they can achieve a lot by just working with soul), they can keep growing independently as individuals and that they know that anything and everything is possible!  

In our painting and drawing program we will dive into a world of light and shadow, warm and cold palette of colors, work with contrast, balance, composition and movement. Many classes will be based on art history and the works of masters as a foundation for our projects.

In the future, creativity will become the most important quality. As new technologies continue to replace jobs, people who are able to trust their creative individuality, with well developed right-brain thinking, will become more and more valuable. Our art lessons are designed to develop these vital qualities in children. As teachers, we are fundamentally against step-by-step instructional methods, which don’t teach creativity, but instead develop habitual, manufactured artworks, lacking a child’s individual style and hand. We discourage any type, even the most minimal, of touch ups by teachers. While any painting can be improved with the stroke of a teacher’s paintbrush, a child’s painting should be stylistically honest and recognizable. A student should feel that the artwork is her individual work and an expression of her internal world. The process of creation, and of getting to know oneself as an artist and creator, is the unquestionable benefit of art lessons.

 

We are highly experienced at teaching drawing methods, and most importantly, we love our work. Our lessons are equally helpful to young ‘artists’ and those who are just starting. We will help you discover your son’s and daughter’s unique, individual character, and teach them to be confident and skillful in their artworks.
