FINE ARTS


LEARN TO DRAW...AND MORE 
6 week class
Ages Teen To Adult
Fridays - 10:00am-12:pm
$215 plus materials

Friday 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.  (6 weeks $215 + materials)
For adults and teens. This fine art class is for beginners with little to no experience. Classes are kept small in order to maximize individual attention and output. You will need a minimum of materials to begin the course. In the first session we will concentrate on becoming familiar with the materials through basic exercises. Included are learning to "see", shading, composition and basic perspective. Each student will work at his/her own pace. All that is required is the desire to learn, and if you think you can’t draw, take this class and be amazed with the results!


PRESCHOOL PICASSOS
5 week class
Ages 3-5
Thursdays - 10:30-11:15am
$75

Finally, an art course designed especially for the preschooler. This course is taught in a hands-on, educational and fun environment. Dress for a mess! Topics include color mixing, drawing, shapes, patterns and textures. Various mediums are used and each child is encouraged to explore their "Inner Picasso". Basic artistic terminology is introduced in a way that is natural and easy to understand. An Art Gallery Exhibit will take place following the last class. Each student will showcase a painting done on art board, suitable for framing. Friends and relatives are invited to the exhibit. Please note that the Picasso courses are not designed to "bring home a project" each week. We are focused on teaching your child the process, not necessarily the final result.


PICASSOS PLUS
5 week class
Ages 3-5
Wednesdays - 10:30-11:15am
$99

An extension of the Preschool Picassos course, the students will progress into exploring additional art forms and mediums including sculpting, woodcraft, fabrics, and mosaics. This course concentrates on 3-dimensional art and layering. This is a very tactile environment and the students are encouraged to be creative in their exploration of individual interests. Following each class, the students may choose to place their art on display in the studio for an entire week. Please note that the Picasso courses are not designed to "bring home a project" each week. We are focused on teaching your child the process, not necessarily the final result.
