So much fun they won’t know they’re learning! This youth class is designed to foster an appreciation of art for students. Students will be introduced to a variety of materials and artistic concepts to evoke their curiosity and to hone their natural creativity. Classes cover techniques in pencil, mixed media, crayons, markers, and acrylics. Students will advance their skills of observation and will cover concepts such as form, value, light and shadow, color, and proportions—and, how to utilize these concepts to convey their personal vision. With an emphasis on exploration, professional artists Krista and Leo Johnson will teach students in a fun, relaxed environment where they can express their creativity and gain self-confidence. The techniques developed do not stop here; students utilize these new skills artistically, academically, and inter-personally. Supply list: • Something to paint on – canvas, paper, wood, pizza box top or any cardboard • Acrylic paint (if you have it) • Crayons and markers • Pencil and eraser • Wax paper or paper plate • Ruler
