Oct 20 – 24 • Students learn or review the basic techniques involved in pencil shading using various textures and movement. Blocks and cubes are looked at, as an introduction to artist’s perspective and understanding of one of the 3 basic geometric forms.

OCT 13 – 17 • Students can begin by finishing the inaccurate painting from 2 weeks ago or creating another experimental work with acrylic paint. Pen and ink is used to copy the work and/or technique of another artist’s ink drawing that they choose. If time allows, early finishers can work with sticks dipped into ink for drawing gritty and dramatic line art of animals.

SEPT 29 – OCT 3 • Because accuracy is not always the goal, and students need to break free from boundaries, we’ll take a fun break from the structured lessons, and enjoy the freedom of self-expression. We also learn about the Most Important Spot, (or emphasis).
