Topic: Movement
– 14-16+ project: Select an object, person, or animal to draw (these can be from life, printed out, or from a magazine). Set up your paper so you can comfortably see your subject without looking at your drawing hand. Begin drawing the outline of your subject without lifting your pencil. Follow the contours of the object with your eyes and let your hand mimic those movements on the paper.
– 10-13 project: Select from a series of pictures available for the students and practice drawing without looking at the page. Keep your eyes on the object and your pencil moving continuously. Trace the outline without looking at your paper.
– 7-9 project: Students will pick a partner and draw them without looking at the page. They will use a marker with a paper plate over it to cover their hand and the page.
Series
This series of youth art classes is designed to provide homeschooling students with affordable, quality, and fun arts education. Classes will meet once a week on Wednesdays from September through April. All classes can be taken individually but, when taken consecutively, provide a complete curriculum of fine arts knowledge and techniques. Students who participate in any Homeschool Art classes have the option to submit work to the Homeschool Art Student Exhibition that will be on display in the children’s wing of the museum in May.
The registration fee is $10 per class.* All supplies are included.
Due to the demand for the program, we are going to cap the registration at 15 students per class to ensure that all students are getting the time and attention that they deserve, and to guarantee that our classrooms can provide the necessary space. The 7-9 age group will be capped at 10 students to meet their current needs.
Class Times:
9:30–11 AM: ages 10–13
11 AM–12:30 PM: ages 14–16+
2–3:30 PM: ages 7–9
Each week, all three classes have the same core concept, but projects are adjusted for each age group.
If children are below the eligible age range for the class they have registered for we reserve the right to omit them from the class without a refund. Older children and older siblings are welcome to join a lower age group if necessary.
Class Dates and Descriptions:
– Classes begin on September 11th and end on April 23rd
– Projects in the first semester (September-December) will be based on the fundamentals of art
– Projects in the second semester (January-April) will be based on combining everything that we learned in the first semester with mixed media and sculpture
