ABOUT ABOUT

Zoom Art Classes with Art Studio 5005

Welcome to our Fall Semester Art Schedule, ages 6-10.

Course topic: 16th century European art (Netherlands, Flemish Region, France, Spain, Belgium). We will learn about classical art, including artists such as Rembrant, Snyders, Jan Brueghel, Pieter de Hooch, Velázquez, Goya, and Boucher. We will be drawing royal portraits- learning proportions, how to draw gems, ornaments, and show the folds on fabric with the help of shadows and light, lanscapes with perspective, how to make a tree come to life, views and people strolling through cities, and ancient castles. Our main focus will be to learn how to use different materials and use all sorts of techniques: line work, color, strokes, forms, shadows, contrast, shading and many more, escpecially how to find your own style and to draw with your soul. 

You will need the following materials: Thick paper, pencil, eraser, colored (prismacolor premier / soft) pencils, watercolor paint pallet, watercolor paper, synthetic brushes, acryllic paints, jar for water (when painting), rag/ paper towels.

Highly reccomended materials, charcoal, colored/tinted paper, white chalk pencil, sanguine, canvas, guache paint, scissors.

We are sticking to the same class schedule on Wednesdays (September 16, 23, 30, and October 7, 14, 21, 28) @ 5:00pm - 6:00pm.

We would really appreciate it, if parents would sign up for the 7 week course, and priority would be given to those who sign up in advance. You can sogn up for one class a week. Our course is $175 for one student or $308 per course for a family (immediate siblings).

 We will still be posting events on ticketleap and facebook, but the tickets will become available only if there is space left after monthly subscriptions are sold. We’re trying to keep our classes small, that way our students can get more personal attention.

Amazon/ Walmart / Michaels/ ACMoore/ JoAnns fabric- all have the same basic materials, they do deliver (even though the delivery process takes more time than before).

Colored pencils- our all time favorite is the Prismacolor premier colored pencils.
