APRIL 20 – 24 • Everyone should work to finish their mid-tone still life painting, and then if there is time, move into the last color journal of the year – neutrals. Some students will be finished with the journal before class is over, so there is also an exercise for early finishers.

30. Near and Far – KidsART B
APRIL 13 – 17 • To understand the basic idea of drawing from a viewpoint (perspective), artists need to learn how to look. Students are introduced to the ideas of viewpoints using a viewfinder tube (Frame-O-Scope). Then we introduce two artist’s tricks to show near and far. One is demonstrated with circle puppets, and shows how things look farther away if they are smaller, and the other is how things that are closer, are lower on the paper. It’s a great lesson of artistic discovery, and most kids are very excited with the work they do.
29. Stacked Up Art – KidsART B
APRIL 6 – 10 • Students will make an art sculpture by cutting and pasting to create a 3D stack of shapes and color. They’ll be using paper they’ve colored and drawing on themselves. They’ll also have time for a fun artist game today.

30. Mid-Tone Still-Life – Foundations B
APRIL 13 – 17 • Students create a still life painting using an acrylic technique that begins with a mid-tone of a warm neutral color. Then they will paint the dark shadows throughout, before finishing with the light areas. It’s a fast and easy method that yields awesome results!
29. Robots & Skeletons – Foundations B
APRIL 6 – 10: Students will learn about the skeletal system and how it affects the way an artist draws the human form. There is also a fun game as well as a robot project that helps them understand the proportions of the human figure.
