Description:
During this 6 week course, students 12+ will learn the fundamental techniques and painting styles of legendary painters from all over the world, through acrylic painting. From color theory to cubism, students will explore different elements of painting every week with each class focusing on a different master painter. Every class incorporates the MONART drawing method—a guided method for drawing developed by artist Mona Brooks—as well as other painting techniques through a guided tutorial by Ms. Kayla. Students are encouraged to either emulate the style of the weekly master painter, or recreate the painter’s work in their own style. Students will learn about the properties of different painting mediums, how to care for painting materials, and how to develop a professional art portfolio. The skills taught in each class build off of each other consecutively, so committing to all 6 weeks is mandatory. No prior painting experience or knowledge is required. All materials are provided including aprons, but students are encouraged to wear clothes they are comfortable getting paint on.
