Examples of Skills Students Learned Last Month:

  • Foundational drawing techniques, including tool selection, mark-making, and working with different paper surfaces

  • Still life composition and observation skills, learning how to set up and draw from real-life arrangements

  • Crosshatching techniques to create form, depth, and dimensional shading

  • Stippling methods to build texture, value, and visual interest through precise mark placement

Additional Notes

This class operates on a monthly membership basis, with each month covering four 1-hour sessions.

  • If your child misses a class, make-up sessions are available on the opposite day of the week (for example, if your child normally attends Tuesday, they may make up the class on Thursday).

  • Missed classes can also be carried over: if your child misses a week, they can use the make-up credit in addition to their regular class the following week (for example, attending both Tuesday and Thursday).

This ensures every student has the opportunity to complete all four sessions each month while keeping scheduling flexible.
