Fundamentals of Drawing and Painting for Youth

Designed for youths ages 10-18, this class series begins with drawing exercises in black and white, using pencil and pen and ink. After basic skills are learned, students advance at their own pace to watercolor. Each class builds on the next, laying a strong foundation of drawing skills, color-mixing and painting techniques. Emphasis is placed on teaching the fundamentals of drawing logically and simply. Students become familiar with the expressive quality of line and improve their eye/hand coordination and focus.

Three different sessions are being offered during the spring term. Choose from Thursday evenings from 6-8 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m to noon or Saturdays from 1-3 p.m. Each session runs for eight weeks.
