Big Paper, Tiny Details (Ages 9 – 11)
Youth After School | FULL
In this class, we will work continuously to fill a big piece of paper with tiny details. We will practice drawing and painting techniques on paper with pencils, pens, ink, and watercolor. Each artist will choose a guiding theme to inspire their artmaking. We will exercise patience and persistence leading to the ultimate reward: how repeated small acts can accumulate to fantastic results.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
This class does not meet on 2/18.
Casha Stempniewicz
Casha Stempniewicz is an artist and educator based in RVA. They graduated from VCUarts in 2017 with a double BFA in Art Education and Painting + Printmaking. Their studio art practice resides in the blended world of drawing, painting, printmaking, and collage. Casha believes making art is an essential human experience. As a teacher, Casha encourages their students to quiet their self-doubts, to trust in their senses, to experiment, and to connect with their bodies and minds through hands on experiences. Since Casha’s teaching and artmaking practices inform and enhance each other, it makes sense for them to teach and create in the same space. Casha found this space in the Visual Arts Center of Richmond where they first became involved as a Printmaking Studio Monitor in 2019. Since then, Casha has been teaching through Vis Arts programs such as Artventure, Art After School, Art League, Second Fridays, and Engage Workshops.
