DRAWING & PAINTING (AGES 9 – 13)

Join us in an immersive painting and drawing series led by Nicole Gogolak. Young creatives will not only learn the fundamentals of drawing and painting but also have the opportunity to exercise their growing imaginations in new and technically challenging ways. During this immersive experience, budding artists will hone their observational skills, mastering the shape, form, gesture, and negative space in three dimensions, and then convincingly translating them into 2D compositions. The curriculum covers all the bases, including color theory, light and shadow, foreshortening, and the basics of human anatomy. Engaging exercises are woven into the program to enhance drawing and painting processes. Additionally, participants will also discover the value of constructive criticism, learning how to give and receive feedback compassionately and effectively.

Whether your young artist is a beginner or already has some experience, this program caters to a passion for technical or realistic drawing. The ultimate goal is to equip our young artists with the toolkit they need to blossom in any creative and technical career.
