Description

Explore light and shadow in your art. Light and shadows visually define objects creating the illusion of a third dimension but they also add drama, mood and capture the effects of movement and sunlight. Through silhouette paintings, shadow puppetry and the use of masking fluid in watercolors, we will use light and shadow to create dramatic works of art. Week 1: Shading Geometric Forms and Drawing from Ansel Adams Photographs (white colored pencils or pastels on black paper) Week 2: Silhouette Painting on Canvas with Sunset Backgrounds Week 3: Masking Fluid in Watercolors Week 4: Paint into Previous Watercolors Week 5: Create Shadow Puppets (and experiment with movement behind a shadow stage) This five-week program runs from March 1st through March 29th; 12:00-1:30PM and is designed for students ages 9-12. A $75 non-refundable deposit will hold your spot and go toward your full tuition of $200.00.
