In this class, students will work with Emily to discover various methods of drawing. This class will be an exploration of drawing materials. Students will be given the opportunity to experiment with different colored paper, charcoal, graphite, powdered graphite/charcoal, white charcoal, pastel pencils and liquefied graphite and charcoal. Students may bring in images they wish to work with or a still life will be set up for each class.

Teen Fall Break Art Camp
Teens have fun with Anna exploring painting and drawing in this 2 day art camp! Students will enjoy Anna’s relaxed approach to strengthening their drawing skills, which ultimately translates into painting skills. Weather permitting, students will walk to local parks to sketch en plein air (outside), allowing them to practice perspective, form, and proportions. In the case of inclement weather, students will work from reference photos of their choosing. Thursday’s focus will be drawing, Friday’s focus will be painting. Spaces fill fast – register in advance to reserve your space.
Favorite Faces Gallery: Drawing & Painting People and Critters Kids Love
Kids get to draw and paint portraits of the people and critters that are central to their lives, including themselves. Silly, serious and/or full of make believe portraits tell stories about both the subject and the artist. Students learn about adding supporting elements to art that help reveal the true nature of the subject. Kids will work with dry media as well as acrylics on canvas board. Printed, student-supplied photo reference of subject matter is required.
Wake & Draw: Open Studio Figure Draw Session VI
Ages 18+
Unwind from the work week and enjoy your Saturday morning in the studio. This class has been offered because of popular demand! Grab an easel or a drawing horse, bring a pad of paper, your preferred drawing medium, and your creativity. A nude and/or draped model will be present to pose. Students will work with the model to communicate positions, quick draw exercises, or extended time draws, etc., which will allow students to continue their study of the figure. There is no instructor during this open studio session, so it is suggested that students who register have figure drawing experience. Wake & Draw is meant to be a creative meeting place for artistic people to share their techniques and skills on a community setting. Come by and try it! Space is limited to 10 students, so please register in advance to reserve your space.
