See, Draw, Transform: Session B 7/8-12 Week 4
Youth Class | This class is completed
Students will hone their realistic drawing skills while also discovering creative ways for transforming their sketches into imaginative artworks, using a variety of materials and ideas from all kinds of artists. We will learn to draw what we see with detail and accuracy, simultaneously considering our emotions, being mindful of our feelings, and enfolding them into our work. We'll consider what makes a drawing, painting, or sculpture of a chair, or of a vase, or of a person into a work of art. Our class will transform and recreate everything around us into unique artworks: people, houses, trees, flowers, birds, tables, books, and all sorts of everyday things.
- Reduced tuition on youth classes requires a family membership. For a full-day program, a morning class may be combined with an afternoon class. Supervised "bridge" care is available for these students, between 12-1PM, for an additional $40 per week.
