Via Zoom

Suitable for Teens 14- 16 yrs

Our advanced drawing & painting class for teenagers is especially designed for students who have already taken a foundation art course & show keen promise in art. This class will offer students the opportunity to work on personal passion projects more & to work at their own pace. For teens hoping to continue on to an art program or those dreaming of a career in the visual arts, this is the perfect class. We will start the course with practical drawing exercises & preliminary sketches in preparation for painting. Discussions in color theory, composition & demos in painting techniques- how to use paint application to evoke mood, atmosphere, light & emotion. Exploration into Abstract Art vs. Realism in Art from observational study. Students will be introduced to a wide vocabulary of artistic genre. We will also study well-known artist’s process and techniques (past & present) to inspire student’s own work ( think Basquiat or Andy Warhol!). After more thorough exercises & practice, we will move into creating final paintings. Please note students are expected to complete a few paintings during this course.

We strongly encourage everyone to sign up for a full class course. It is the only way to learn skills in this media. Please note if you are signing up for one individual class, this will only serve as a taster session, it is not possible to learn a craft in two hours or to progress. Please be patient and manage your expectations, you may not finish your project in one lesson, creativity takes time.
