Projects may include: Abstract Drawing, Zentangle, Collage, Optical Art, Negative/Positive Space, Color, Perspective, print making and Surrealism.

Art Explorers Studio is a hands-on fine arts class designed to inspire creativity while building foundational artistic skills in a warm, encouraging environment. Students will meet weekly with Miss Lucinda to explore drawing, painting, and a variety of other artistic media through guided instruction and creative projects.
Along with developing artistic techniques, students will learn about the Seven Elements of Art and be introduced to notable master artists from different historical periods and artistic styles. The class is designed to cultivate both creativity and an appreciation for beauty, craftsmanship, and artistic expression.
Throughout the year students will complete a variety of engaging projects, including a special Christmas gift project during the fall term. This is a yearlong course and students will automatically be enrolled for Spring semester.
This class is especially well-suited for homeschool families seeking a meaningful fine arts enrichment opportunity for children who enjoy hands-on learning, creativity, and following step-by-step instruction in a studio-style setting.
This class is for those who want to know more about how art was formed in different countries through various artists. Each week, we will be doing a craft, drawing, or making a mixed media project centering around an artist, country, or both. For instance, we would do a colored pencil optical illusion print which started out in Greece. Or focus on a painting of Monet's water lilies while listening to popular music from that time period. Some pieces may take a few weeks while others will take just one week. We'll start out simple with a lesson in drawing and color before we move onto more complicated works of art. Some of the works to come include a still life, paper lanterns, a Thomas Kinkade inspired house, etc. This class will be very family friendly with what is shown and talked about. Homework will be a write up of what you learned about that artist and/or country to go with each project you finish that week. The supply fee will cover a sketchpad and quality colored pencils that they will get to keep as well as cardstock and other paints I will bring for students to use at their disposal.
This is a studio art class for students aged 11-14 who would love more time for projects. It is a year-long class (Fall & Spring Semesters). Some exposure to the Elements of Art would be helpful, but not required. Projects will include drawing with graphite, inks, soft pastels, oil pastels, acrylic painting on a variety of surfaces (i.e. paper, wood, canvas, etc), mixed media (such as watercolor and ink), and block printing.
