I offer art classes to people of all ages. This is an opportunity for students to acquire new skills, sharpen existing skills, and use their creativity towards new projects. I want all my students to have fun, learn something new, and practice practice practice!
Please don’t hesitate to call if you have a question or want to set something up.
LESSONS: All materials are included. Each lesson is 1 ½ hrs and focuses on a specific finished art piece.
Private $40 per student.
Group $20 per student (2-10 students make a group).
Choose from the following:
- Okeefe oil pastel flower- Students will observe Okeefe’s work, learn to use oil pastels correctly, then design a flower to complete with oil pastels.
- Watercolor resist fish- Students will observe and draw real fish, learn to correctly use watercolor, then complete a watercolor fish painting.
- Painted textured landscapes- Students will find and create textures using everyday items, then design and paint a landscape incorporating these textures with paint.
- Pencil still life- Students will observe objects from life, learn to use value, study master works, then draw a still life arrangement using graphite.
- Other options are available upon request
COURSES: A series of 3 classes, each 1 ½ hrs aimed at building foundational skills, which can then be translated into other mediums and subjects. All materials included, $100 per student.
Choose from:
- Drawing 101- This class will focus on drawing techniques using charcoal and graphite. We will cover gesture, contour lines, value, sighting, and historical master works. This is not an official pre-requisite, but hopefully will be taken first in the sequence, because all other artistic endeavors stem from having basic drawing skills.
- Painting 101- This class will focus on color and composition. We will discuss the color wheel, color mixing, rule of thirds and design, painting methods, and historical master works.
- Sculpture 101- This class will focus on three dimensional artwork. We will use a variety of materials to create in the round and relief sculptures, as well as look at historical examples.
ART INTENSIVE: 1 Week (5 Days) of consecutive art classes, aimed toward Home School Groups. Pricing varies depending on length of class, curriculum needs, and number of students. I can usually accommodate any curriculum area you’d like to focus on.
Here are some ideas:
- Elements and Principles of Art (Line, Shape, Color, Texture, Form, Value, Balance, Pattern, Emphasis, etc)
- Subject Matter (Still life, Landscape, Portraiture)
- Styles (Realsitic, Expressive, Impressionistic)
- Cultures (Native American, Appalachian, Folk Art, Egyptian, Colonial, etc)
- Mediums (graphite, charcoal, paint, watercolor, oil pastel, fibers)
- Art and Core Subjects (using art to extend and strengthen core subject areas of math, science, literature, and history)
- Art in the Bible (how art is used and expressed in the Bible)
I would be happy discussing other points of interest so that the curriculum is tailored to fit your group needs.
Prices are flexible depending on clients needs!
