Youth Art Studio (12-16yrs)
12 Week Class | Available
Youth Art Studio offers young artists the opportunity to explore drawing, painting, printing, collage, and 3-dimensional work in a fun and professional studio environment. Students will be introduced to various techniques and media in order to develop their own artistic language and expression. This includes drawing and painting from observation and imagination - exploring line, shape, texture, perspective and composition as well as preparing surfaces and colour mixing. Collage, assemblage, and 3-dimensional explorations will include various materials including paper, wire, wood, found objects and natural elements. We will also explore mono printing, creating stamps and designing textures and patterns. The students will be introduced to artists throughout history including contemporary artists in connection with their projects. Individual mentorship and group critiques as well as displaying their work are an essential part of this course. Field trips to museums and galleries will be announced in advance.
