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.
Painting
Choose Your Own Medium: Pastel & Watercolor
These sessions will teach the basics of each medium. Intermediate students are welcome to participate as Jeanne will work at the individual pace of each student. Jeanne will teach you how to use the correct tools and the correct methods to achieve an awesome painting. On the first day of class, please bring one piece of Masonite or a thick wood panel to tape down the paper. Jeanne LaRae/Kimball Art Center will supply the pastels and the watercolor. This will allow you to explore these new mediums without a huge investment. This is a class that will help you learn the skills to move forward into other drawing and painting classes with more confidence and abilities to paint either on your own or along with an instructor. This class will be split into two sessions – 3 classes focusing on pastel, and 3 classes focusing on watercolor. You are welcome to continue in one medium if you choose.
Art Exploration for Kids
Students will explore art with a variety of different mediums and techniques to diversify their creativity. We will focus on learning the basics of sculpture, printmaking, painting, and weaving. Kids will learn about 2D and 3D shapes, create sculpture fossils, carve blocks for printmaking, and make colorful weavings in this creative class!
Wasatch Back Student Art Show Class: A Closer Look
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!
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.
