Students will learn intermediate drawing skills. Classes will focus on basics such as line, shape, proportion, perspective, and other design principles, while learning technique and use of materials. Each class, students will have individualized instruction based on their current skills. This class helps students find their own style and develop their artistic abilities. We will work with still life, landscape art (fun outdoor class), and portraits. Students are encouraged to draw daily in a sketch book that they get to keep.


Oodles and Doodles of Drawing
Ages 5 and up
SESSION I (90 min) - TBA
Thursdays 4:30 pm
Fee: $75.00/4 sessions

Dungeons and dragons, Castles and princesses…
This is a fun and exciting approach to drawing.  A very relaxed and open session in which I help the children draw their favorite fantasy characters using basic lines and shapes.  Children are encouraged to create their own imagery based on simple practices of drawing. The students are encouraged to use their imagination and creativity while exploring the basic design principles. You have to see what some of the students come up with! So fun!



 My goal is to inspire kids to reach beyond and create art that is unique to them. I will provide an environment for one on one to work with each child, answer questions, demonstrate techniques and encourage exploration. Many children find a new interest in exploring their own creativity. We will paint, draw, sculpt, design, imagine, and explore using a wide variety of artist materials and techniques, all in an atmosphere of fun!
