Drawing, Color, & Originality II

Schedule:
Wednesday - Art Studio - 129: 11:30 am - 12:50 pm
Description:
This is a Part II continuation of the Drawing, Color & Originality class. Part 1 is not a prerequisite! Classes are designed to revisit the structure and concepts learned in Part 1, with all new projects! We will continue to cover important foundational elements of a successful painting as we refer to famous paintings created by the Masters, as well as a few contemporary artists. We will use directed drawing in many projects to learn how to “see” the world as an artist, breaking complex objects into simple shapes. Emphasis will be placed on “loosening up;” placing less energy on perfected realism, and celebrating the “imperfect” mark making that contributes to an interesting painting and design. We will cover drawing and painting technique, with wide exposure to multiple mediums such as Sharpie, oil pastel, soft pastel, collage, watercolor, tempura and marker. Just as each of our signatures reflect our own unique style, so does our artwork! We will correlate this concept to a marveling at God’s gift in creating each of us as an original masterpiece, each with our own unique gifts and strengths that we were given to bring beauty into this world. Students will complete at least 6 bold, beautiful projects throughout the semester, each project taking several sessions to complete.
I will be pairing a famous classical composer on day two of each project to gain familiarity with the composer’s name and music, joined with a brief story of the composer's background. The featured music will play during our artists' creation time.
**Please note class duration will be 80 minutes.** Due to the nature of multiple-session projects, it is important your student attends as many classes as possible. Please send students in clothes that can get messy so they can feel free to create!
Ages 7-12+

Students will use hand building techniques (pinching, coil building, slab work and kurinuki) to create functional wares. Functional wares may include: mug, plate, bird house, bowl, spoon rest, toothbrush holder, etc. Focus will be invited to give attention to the thickness of the piece, the finish of the piece: does it feel too heavy, too rough, are the joins well attended and clean? Creativity is invited to the class; functional pottery is amazing to explore.
Requirements:
If dual enrolled in Wednesday Open Studio student will pay only one supply fee.

Schedule:
Monday - Art Studio - 129: 1:00 pm - 1:50 pm
Description:
This is a hybrid drawing and handwriting class for young students between the ages of 6-10*. Using both Draw•Write•Now and Getty-Dubay® Italic Handwriting Series, students will enjoy a longer in-person studio class plus watch a shorter handwriting-specific video during the week. The longer class will be devoted mostly to the weekly drawing focus, while the online class time will be spent on italic cursive handwriting instruction. The main goal is to develop fine motor skills used in both drawing and handwriting strokes, and have fun doing it!
I will send a link to the 20-minute video weekly, and students can watch it at a convenient time during the week. They should also practice handwriting 10-15 minutes per day.
*(age is flexible, and at the parent’s and teacher’s discretion)
Requirements:
Students must be old enough to hold a pencil well enough to draw and write. They must practice handwriting daily during the week. There is no requirement to know manuscript writing prior to learning cursive. NOTE: Students must have access to the internet and be able to watch an online video each week.***
Supply fee includes: Book E of the Getty-Dubay handwriting curriculum and a Draw•Write•Now workbook, and art supplies • Supply & teacher payments are due January 9th. Families must respond to Groupzu invoices by this deadline to keep their standing in the class.
