The Elements of Art

6 hours or up to 5 days
Skill level: all levels

Just as we can all learn to read, we can all learn to see and create with the eye of an artist. Get wild and crazy and lose some of your fear as we give ourselves permission to play and make ART!

Students will discuss some of the basic elements of art and design including focal point, line, texture, color, shape and motion. Small studies will help the student to understand and impliment these principles in their own artwork. We view and discuss great artworks and have very positive and helpful critique sessions.
