Art for the Young (or Young at Art)

By Deborah Klose

The goal of my classes is for the young artist or art-hesitant to learn impactful, yet simple steps to enhance and refine their art pieces.

Materials are included. We will be using professional colour pencils, graphite, soft and oil pastels, watercolour, and possibly acrylic paint. (I learned to spell colour from the cover of my very first paint box.) 

All lessons are designed to incorporate basics (shape, space, perspective, texture, colour theory,…) by doing projects they enjoy. They will learn by directive art (demonstrating steps and the why of it) and then experiencing it themselves.
Homework is minimal and fun!

Although this coming year we will still draw animals, flowers, etc…, we will also be learning to draw people. I am especially excited about it.

​This is a water colour painting with black colour pencil detail, by Chaeli, 14 yrs. old. Her younger sister’s favourite animal is a giraffe so we thought it would be fun.
