Youth Classes
Fundamentals of Art & Creative Writing (7-9 yrs)
Instructor: Lyle Colombo
Students aged 7-9 will learn the basics of color theory (primary, secondary, warm, and cool colors); the concepts of foreground, middle ground, and background; and the design principles of pattern, repetition, and contrast. Students will learn how to create perspective and enhance their drawing skills through observation. We will explore works of art from various periods. Fun, guided writing exercises will allow the children to experiment with poetry (meaning, rhyme, and rhythm) and storytelling (characterization, setting, and plot).
All supplies are included in the supply fee.
