About This Activity
In this semester-long art class, middle and high school students will explore painting and drawing through observation, imagination, and personal expression. Students will learn to draw and paint from life — studying still life, the figure, and the environment — to develop a strong understanding of proportion, light, color, and composition. They will also learn how to move beyond simply copying photographs by interpreting references creatively and infusing their work with mood, movement, and storytelling. Through guided lessons, demonstrations, and critiques, students will build technical skill and artistic confidence, discover their own visual voice while deepening their ability to see and translate the world around them. Please note: Taking Art 3 is not required to join this class. All young artists are welcome! What Students Will Learn: • Advanced principles of design: movement, balance, and emphasis • Techniques in painting, facial anatomy, and advanced drawing • Exploration of modern, abstract, surrealist, and contemporary art • How to critique, reflect on, and refine their own work and the work of others Example Projects: • Painting: Learn to see color, mix paint appropriately and paint from life. • Drawing: Study the contours and angles of facial anatomy and put them to use. • Drawing: Understand how to use a photograph as a handy reference tool. • Painting: Discover how to mix and paint realistic flesh tones.
