125 Drawing for Beginners and Beyond (Grades 4-8)

Welcome young artists! Come explore drawing whether you are learning the basics or looking to sharpen your existing skills. Students will build an understanding of key artistic concepts such as shape, line, composition, proportion, shading, value and perspective through engaging weekly prompts. We will explore a variety of materials, including graphite pencils, charcoal, colored pencils and tonal black watercolor washes.

Artists will practice both copying and interpreting images and photographs, as well as drawing from life objects, the human figure, and landscape (weather permitting). Throughout the course, students will gain confidence, strengthen their observational skills and begin to develop their own unique artistic voice. This class fosters both technical skill and creative expression in a supportive, fun environment. Be ready to surprise yourself!
