OXNARD TEENS! Come prepared to have fun sketching, drawing, and developing your art skills! Drawing is the foundation of any art practice and you’ll learn with a Master Artist this daily practice of visual communication. We will explore drawing’s potential to uncover, clarify and transform emotions and ideas. We’ll use a variety of mediums - charcoal, graphite, conte crayon, and pen & ink - and challenge ourselves with different subject matter, including still-lifes, various objects, landscapes, and more. We'll explore line, shape, form, value, general composition, and perspective. Space is VERY limited and is on a scholarship basis for ages 13-17 / Grades 8-12. |
