Zoom in and discover what you see. Join this three day art class with Lori McDonald and make a piece of artwork for the Wasatch Back Student Art Show with the theme A Closer Look. We will draw, paint and photograph taking a close look at objects, and even our own faces up close. Come have fun exploring scale, computer pixels and the micro world! We will frame all finished pieces and submit them for the exhibition!
Painting
Kids Go Van Gogh
Watch as kids get inspired when they go Van Gogh! Kids will learn about the famous artist and his process as they try it out and make their very own paintings. Kids will make multiple paintings throughout the class.
Art Attack!
This class explores various art media including painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, clay and fine craft. Students develop a knowledge of art processes, how to explore and experiment on their own, and learn art techniques to improve their ability. Some projects may span more than one class meeting and students may have fun creative homework. This class is for students who are 7 – 10 years of age only.
Tots Paint Pots for Mom
Celebrate the spring season by getting creative and muddy, just in time for Mother’s Day! Each toddler will have the opportunity to paint a 4” terra cotta pot with acrylic paints and paint pens. When the masterpiece is completed, we will fill the pot with soil and plant a flower to take home. A great gift for Mother’s Day!
Explorations in Painting III
Take time to relax and learn to paint with either acrylic or oil paints in this class (student’s choice). Students will learn to paint from references – either photographs and/or still life sets. Students can bring in their own photographs to paint. By the last day of class, students will have the skills necessary to continue painting on their own, or advance to another class. Teens 14+ are also welcome to enroll.xpression.
Painting Pet Portraits
Adult and Teen 14+
Working in the student’s choice of paint medium (oil, acrylic, or watercolor), Annette will teach students how to successfully paint a pet portrait. Students will learn how to break down the figure of a pet or animal into basic shapes to help accurately depict the subject. Using photographic references, learn how to simplify the subject’s form, which is a valuable skill in drawing/painting and can be applied to still lifes and the human figure. Students will learn portrait and painting techniques to capture the likeness of animals, and become more comfortable with their favored paint medium, discovering new skills in painting and drawing. Students should come to class with photographic references of the pet or animal they would like to paint. Teens 14+ are also welcome to enroll.
