Through a variety of exercises and projects, they will develop skills in composition, line, value, form, color, and edge within these mediums. Students will also learn specific techniques and terminology that will enhance their artistic abilities and allow them to express themselves more confidently in their work. We encourage experimentation with different types of surfaces and paint applications to help each student find their unique style.

Students of all levels of experience are welcome. Suggested materials List (below).
