Dive into the art of printmaking! Using wood blocks, teens will learn how to build surfaces onto the block to create images and prints. Teens will also learn about relief printmaking, where students carve into foam to make beautiful impressions. Some everyday objects can be used in printmaking, and Janice will show teens what can be used so they can try printmaking at home! Students will leave class with a series of prints after class.
Friday
Get Out and Draw for Kids
Students will enjoy the summer weather while learning to draw what they see outside. Students will go outside to find a view they would like to draw, and using a drawing board, paper, pencils, and colored pencils kids will draw a light sketch. Kylie will lead students in how to develop a drawing by slowly adding details and color. Throughout the week, students will use different materials including oil pastel, chalk pastel, and watercolors to create artwork au plein air!
Design, Carve & Print for Kids
In this class, students will learn about different types of printmaking such as, relief using foam and linoleum, using found objects (leaves, apples, string, etc.), and monoprinting. First, students will look around and find objects that they can use to make interesting relief style designs. Kids will also learn relief techniques using foam blocks and printmaking tools. Carving techniques will be taught using linoleum blocks, and finally, monoprinting will also be explored using small pieces of plexiglass, water soluble oil paint, and brushes. Students will have an entire edition of prints by the end of class!
