Begin your journey into the world of art at Young At Art. Our school creates a noncompetitive environment where all students can explore their artistic talent in a comfortable, supportive atmosphere. We believe that learning to draw is a teachable skill and that anyone can learn to draw! Our mission is to guide students to express their creativity on paper, by teaching them the basic elements of art - line, shape, proportion, perspective, color, light and shadow. Students will learn about drawing faces, their favorite animals, perspective in landscapes, seascapes, and still lives using step-by-techniques. Artwork will be enhanced with different medias and colors. They'll also have fun sculpting 3 dimensional clay pieces and applying ceramic glaze paint to create colorful kiln-fired works of art. Most classes meet once a week at our studio. Please see our website for more information about our 2014 Summer Art Camps as well as ongoing classes for children and beginning adults!
