New! Hoping to Offer a Basic Drawing Class

Starting this fall or possibly next spring, I would like to offer a class for kids who are interested in learning and exploring basic drawing skills and techniques.

The class will be held in my home and will most likely be for children ages 8-13. If there is enough interest in the class, I would like to divide into two classes according to age. I am hoping to keep class sizes at about 8-10 students.

The class will be $24 a month for once-weekly classes (I'm thinking Thursdays, from 4:00-4:50pm?).  I will most likely charge a one-time $10 fee for art supplies at the start of each year.

Topics covered will be as follows:

Practice with different mediums like graphite, charcoal, colored pencil, pen, watercolor pencil, markers, etc....

Practice drawing perspective, highlights/shadows, negative spaces, patterns, blending colors, stipple, etc...

Our subjects will vary from still life, landscapes, abstract, cartoons, portraits, and more.
