During the term children typically work within the frame work of one or two themes. Themes range from portraiture, still life, animals and birds, cityscapes and perspective, landscapes, figures, plants and natural forms.Generally a project will commence with drawing skills, either from reference sheets or direct observation. Direct observation drawing is encouraged whenever possible. A theme will typically be explored with studies before embarking on a final piece. Children will gain skills and experience in watercolour painting, acrylic painting, pencil drawing, pastel work and mixed media. Although observation is the starting point for all projects many projects include an element of abstraction and self expression. In most projects children produce work that is representational and the focus is on painting and drawing what you see. Some projects draw references to Artists both past and present. This is a great class for children who wish to express themselves and gain skills at the same time.No refunds for missed classes. REFUNDS - up to 7 days before the class begins (less the Eventbrite fees - which are approximately 5.5%)Please bring an A3 heavy cartridge paper sketchbook to the first class - ALL OTHER MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED.
