DRAWING & PAINTING: Concept Foundations
 
Ages 13+
All Levels of Experience
 
Description
 
This course helps students uncover the “why” behind their creative choices, focusing on drawing, painting, and concept development. Through engaging prompts, students will combine technical skills with personal expression, selecting materials and techniques to strengthen their artistic message.
Participants will explore both traditional and unconventional methods, developing skills in observational drawing, theme-based work, and critique. This foundational course prepares artists to cultivate a personal point of view and transition to advanced, independent work.
 
Designed for serious, dedicated artists, this immersive course requires commitment, with opportunities for additional work during open studio hours or at home.
