Instructor: Kortney Gibson
This class is for the youngest artist to have a chance to learn what inspires them to make art. The class would have a focus on acrylic painting on canvas. Each week we would be working on a different subject to paint together in class (example: animals, landscape, holiday themes) The beginning of class kids will have a canvass and the materials in front of them as we talk about the steps of the painting, we are doing that day. For the younger artist it may already have some of it pre-drawn for them. Together, I will teach as we mix colors, paint the background, paint the subject, and then add if there are any details at the end. They should have a finished painting at the end of each class. There is always a short time during the class time to give the kids a break from their work and play a little game or create a work of art together. .

In this class we will create textured mixed media pieces using any or all of the following that you choose: acrylic paint, collage, pencils, oil pastels, oil paint, paper, or even fabric. Many different mark making tools can be used like brushes, palet knives, stamps, stencils etc. You can work on canvas, heavy paper or cradled wood panel, Many master painters like Matisse, Bearden and Picasso used collage with paint so why not try it? We will first create collage papers with acrylic paint on various papers, then create mixed media pieces by combining paint with the collage papers. In each class will be a short lesson/demo and then the teacher will assist students with their projects. Basic art principles like composition, value, color, etc will be reviewed as needed as to to how they relate to students’ pieces. The teacher will assist each student with their choice of media, and everyone will have their own 6x3’ table and large easel. It will be so fun!
Beginners or advanced students are welcome!
